Valspar

Dulce De Leche

8002-19A

Dulce De Leche is a bright cream with a caramel warmth. It glows fast. Walls in a kitchen or casual dining room can take this color when the fixed finishes already lean warm.

It is richer than a standard off-white, so compare it against cabinets before committing. Soft brown stone and antique brass feel natural beside it. Cool gray quartz may expose the yellow-orange side more sharply.

Dulce De Leche 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.
