Valspar

Golden Spell

3004-1B

Golden Spell is a vivid warm yellow with an orange-gold core. It casts warmth fast. Use it as a deliberate color moment on a door, small bath wall, or built-in back panel.

Across a large room, it can feel intense even though it is comfortably light. Dark green balances it. Creamy trim softens the edges. Keep flooring and counters in mind, because cool surfaces make the yellow feel louder.

Golden Spell 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.
