Valspar

Library Card

T525

Library Card is a light peach-tan with a creamy paper-like warmth. The peach-tan warmth suits old wood. Use it in hallways, guest rooms, or quiet offices where a neutral should feel warmer than greige.

On a large wall, the peach undertone becomes more noticeable. Set aged wood, linen, or antique white trim nearby. Cool gray carpet can make the warmth seem more pronounced, so test at floor level.

Library Card 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.
