Valspar

Golden Chime

3006-5C

Golden Chime is a warm apricot-gold with a soft caramel edge. It feels welcoming. Use it in an entry, dining nook, or painted ceiling where a pale neutral would fall flat.

The color is light enough to keep a room open, but it still makes a clear statement. Use dark bronze and a creamy trim white. Around orange-toned flooring, test the sample at wall size.

Golden Chime 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.
