Valspar

Hint of Cream

M213

Hint of Cream reads as bright warm off-white with a beige-vanilla undertone. The vanilla-beige undertone keeps bright rooms warmer than a cleaner white would. The color suits walls in bedrooms, halls, or living spaces where pure white looks too hard.

It will reflect light, but the warmth prevents a clinical edge. Oak floors and ivory textiles work naturally with it. Against cool white trim, it may read creamier. Sample beside cabinets, since close whites can clash quickly.

Hint of Cream 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.
