Valspar

Classic Khaki

8004-18B

Classic Khaki is a light golden beige with a calm tan base. It can replace pale gray in rooms that need warmth and compatibility with wood. Use it through a hallway, guest room, or living area with woven shades.

The color is bright enough for broad use, but it is not white. In strong sun, it may turn creamier and more yellow. A warm white trim and grounded bronze accents suit it.

Classic Khaki 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.
