Valspar

Crumbling Cork

8003-19E

Crumbling Cork is a medium brown tan with an earthy, toasted edge. It feels more natural than polished. On walls, it can make a family room or study feel settled without going too dark.

Creamy trim works better than cold white. Test it near oak floors, since similar undertones can either blend beautifully or look flat. A sample door can reveal whether Crumbling Cork wants sheen.

Crumbling Cork 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.
