Valspar

Gingerbread

8002-22E

Gingerbread is a deep golden brown, warmer and clearer than a standard tan. It has a baked warmth. The color suits a den, dining room, or exterior accent that needs coziness.

In shade, it moves toward caramel brown. Dark metal gives it structure. Cream trim keeps it warm. Because it is deep, full walls need lighter furnishings so the room still has places for the eye to rest.

Gingerbread 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.
