Valspar

Cravat

8007-5C

Cravat is a bright warm white with a faint parchment cast. The parchment note adds warmth. It works for trim when stark white would glare against beige, cream, or muted green walls.

In rooms with cool northern light, it stays warmer than a blue-based white. Test it beside white appliances, since those can make its yellow note more obvious. Review Cravat beside rugs before choosing sheen.

Cravat 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.
