Valspar

Emery Board

V084-3

Emery Board is a medium peach-tan with a softened clay base. It feels warm and tactile. Put it in a dining room, hall, or bedroom where plain beige lacks life.

The color will become more terracotta near warm bulbs. Cream trim or aged wood keeps it familiar. If the floor already has orange tones, sample a larger board so the room does not feel too heavy.

Emery Board 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.
