Valspar

Epic

6008-3C

Epic is a mid sandy beige with a golden-gray undertone. It feels quiet but present. It can serve a living room, hallway, or exterior body color when off-white seems too thin.

The value gives walls more substance than cream. Work warm stone or painted black accents into the room. In north light, it may look more taupe, so judge it on a large board.

Epic 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.
