Valspar

Clean Sweep

2007-10B

Clean Sweep is a medium-light taupe beige with a warm gray base. It is a practical neutral for rooms where cream feels too yellow and gray feels too cool. Use it in an office, hallway, or living room with mixed finishes.

The color has enough depth to show against white trim. In rooms with weak daylight, it may feel heavier than expected. Bring in lighter textiles or pale wood if the walls start to close in.

Clean Sweep 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.
