Valspar

Light Patina

8004-28C

Light Patina is a soft gray-beige with a faint olive-green cast. It reads quiet and aged. This color can settle a bedroom, entry, or cabinet color when true sage feels too green.

On walls, it will look warmer beside blue-gray finishes and greener beside cream. Let natural oak or stone carry the contrast. A larger sample is worth it because the undertone is subtle.

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.
