Valspar

Light Raffia

3008-10B

Light Raffia is a pale beige with a warm straw undertone. The straw undertone keeps it grounded. Bedrooms, hallways, or casual living rooms benefit when a neutral should support wood and woven texture.

It will not read as a crisp white. Off-white trim keeps the beige soft. Black accents add definition. In rooms with little daylight, add layered lighting so the beige does not feel flat.

Light Raffia 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.
