Valspar

Darling Clementine

V012-3

Darling Clementine is a vivid orange with a golden undertone. The gold in it glows. Use it sparingly on a front door, stool, small bath, or kids furniture unless the room is meant to feel very energetic.

White trim makes it sharper. Natural wood and navy accents can ground the citrus edge. Test Darling Clementine at eye level before painting a whole room.
