Valspar

Calfskin

M129

Calfskin is a warm tan with a soft leather-beige undertone. The leather-beige cast makes it useful for exterior body color. Use it in dens, entries, or exterior body schemes where a neutral needs more substance than cream.

Ivory trim, stone, and dark bronze fit the leather-beige base. It may look too golden beside cool gray finishes. In shaded rooms, expect a quieter taupe impression on the largest walls.

Calfskin 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.
