Valspar

Monarch Wing

2008-1A

Monarch Wing is a vivid orange with a golden base. This is not subtle. It can energize a front door, playroom accent, or small furniture piece when the surrounding colors stay quieter.

On full walls, it will dominate quickly. White trim makes it crisp, but cream makes it warmer. Dark green can balance the brightness. Test it in direct sun, where the orange may feel even stronger.
