Valspar

Char Latte

M128

Char Latte is a mid golden brown with a coffee-and-oak warmth. It lands deeper than beige and lighter than chocolate. A study wall, built-in cabinet, or exterior accent gives the design a needed earthy note.

The color will connect naturally to leather and woven textures. In dim light, it can turn a little heavy. Give it cream trim or pale stone, then avoid adding more orange wood unless sampled together.

Char Latte 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.
