Valspar

Chickadee

3002-1B

Chickadee is a vivid golden yellow with an orange core. It carries optimism in a very direct way. Use it in small doses: a pantry, a back door, a kids craft area, or furniture that needs a spark.

On four walls, the color can become intense by afternoon. Pair with white, denim blue, or dark green for balance. Gray counters may make the yellow feel sharper, so check fixed finishes first.

Chickadee 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.
