Valspar

Black Hills Gold

T630

Black Hills Gold is a muted golden beige with an olive-tan base. Olive undertones keep it from turning buttery. The hue works in dining rooms, entries, or bedrooms with warm wood and woven textures.

Installed on walls, it reads deeper than cream but not dark. Let warm white trim support it and black metal. In cool daylight, the olive side becomes easier to see, so sample before using it broadly.

Black Hills Gold in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
