Valspar

La Vida

8001-25F

La Vida is a strong chartreuse-gold, more olive yellow than green. It is adventurous. A vintage chair, pantry door, or lively powder room ceiling can handle it if the palette stays disciplined.

On large walls, it may overpower flooring and fabrics. Black accents give it bite. Creamy whites mellow the yellow. Sample near any brass, because similar tones can blur together.

La Vida 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.
