Valspar

Lantern

T550

Lantern is a bright warm cream with a golden beige base. It gives rooms a soft glow. Use it in kitchens, halls, or bedrooms where a white wall would feel too bare.

The yellow side will show more in south-facing light. Let warm stone, oak, or antique brass carry the contrast. If fixed finishes are cool gray, sample carefully so the cream does not look overly yellow.

Lantern 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.
