Valspar

Canterbury Cream

V163

Canterbury Cream is a bright warm white with a soft yellow-beige undertone. It feels traditional. Use it on walls, ceilings, or trim when the space needs warmth without heavy cream.

The color works well with wood floors and classic millwork. Beside cool gray paint, it will look warmer. Sample it next to existing trim so the undertones line up.

Canterbury Cream 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.
