Valspar

Creole Mustard

V092-4

Creole Mustard is a golden ochre with brown depth, stronger than a typical tan. The mustard note leads. It can be excellent on pantry doors, a dining nook, or an old dresser.

Full rooms need confidence and good art to balance the color. Blackened metal and warm white trim keep it from looking dated. Try Creole Mustard beside the metal finishes already installed.

Creole Mustard 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.
