Valspar

Cream of Cauliflower

V051-2

Cream of Cauliflower is a warm cream with a golden apricot undertone. The gold shows. The name sounds paler than the color behaves, especially across kitchen walls or a sunny breakfast nook.

Butcher block and soft white tile suit it, with unlacquered brass adding a little age. Avoid icy gray nearby, since that contrast can push the cream too yellow.

Cream of Cauliflower in Different Light
