Valspar

Ecosystem

V094-4

Ecosystem is a deep tan with an olive-gold cast. It feels earthy and dry. This color can ground a den, entry, or cabinetry run, especially with cream walls nearby.

It will not act like a pale beige, so give it real light and contrast. Dark bronze or unpolished stone keeps the palette grounded. In shadow, the olive note becomes more obvious.

Ecosystem 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.
