Valspar

London Coach

4002-1B

London Coach is a warm gray-taupe with a muted rosy undertone. The rosy taupe reads polished. The color can work in living rooms, bedrooms, or cabinetry when a neutral needs more softness than charcoal.

Beside white trim, the taupe side becomes clearer. Near brown flooring, it warms up. Dark bronze or linen upholstery keeps the color from floating. Avoid purple decor if the wall color should stay neutral.

London Coach 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.
