Valspar

Heart of Palm

6008-5B

Heart of Palm reads as bright creamy yellow with a soft palm-fiber warmth. Sunshine leads. It can warm kitchens, breakfast rooms, or north-facing halls that need lift.

On walls, the yellow reads clearer than a typical cream, so keep trim and cabinets simple. The high value reflects plenty of light. Pair with natural wood or aged white. Cool gray counters may make the color look sharper than intended.

Heart of Palm 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.
