Valspar

Frickles

P056

Frickles is a mustard-olive with a dry, vintage quality. It has character. The mid depth makes it better for a den, cabinet island, or accent wall than for a whole open plan.

It can look handsome with dark wood and black hardware. Cool gray floors may make the yellow-green base seem odd, so test that pairing carefully. Use warmer whites to keep the color grounded.

Frickles 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.
