Valspar

Coconut Husk

8003-20G

Coconut Husk is a dark golden brown with a strong orange undertone. It is closer to toasted wood than coconut shell. Use it on shutters, a front door, a mudroom bench, or furniture where the warmth can stand on its own.

The color will get heavy on full walls without lamps and pale contrast. Cream plaster, black metal, and natural stone suit it. Avoid crowding it with more orange wood.

Coconut Husk 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.
