Valspar

Gleeful

6008-7B

Gleeful is a sunny cream with a soft greenish cast. The greenish cream keeps the yellow from feeling heavy. The color can brighten a pantry, playroom, or sunroom without using a saturated yellow.

It reflects plenty of light, so it may look stronger across broad walls than expected. Pair with clean white trim and natural fibers. If the room already has warm bulbs, sample at night to make sure it stays fresh.

Gleeful 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.
