Valspar

Hazy Earth

8004-18C

Hazy Earth is a warm sand-taupe with a golden beige center. The golden taupe center works best with warm floors and simple linen textures. The color can settle a living room, hallway, or primary bedroom without looking stark.

On walls, it has more body than a pale cream. Warm floors will make it feel cohesive. Blue-gray upholstery can bring out the beige side. Use a soft white trim, then check it near tile because pink-beige surfaces may push it rosier.

Hazy Earth 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.
