Valspar

Gentle Lamb

V177

Gentle Lamb is a light beige-white with a soft woolen warmth. The woolly beige undertone handles oak floors without glare. Use it in bedrooms, halls, or living rooms where a clean cream is more useful than a true white.

The color has enough warmth to sit with oak floors and linen. In bright sun, it stays gentle rather than glaring. Choose a warm white for trim. Cool gray upholstery may expose a yellow side, so check the sample nearby.

Gentle Lamb 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.
