Valspar

Curly Willow

P086

Curly Willow is a deep golden brown, similar to aged wicker or tobacco leaf. Curly Willow has weight. It works best on built-ins, interior doors, and compact rooms with good lamplight.

With LRV 17, it will not behave like a casual tan. Cream walls and woven textures keep the finish approachable. A brushout will show whether Curly Willow needs more contrast.

Curly Willow 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.
