Valspar

Monkeypod

8004-5E

Monkeypod is a muted rosy taupe grounded by warm gray. It reads complex. The color can settle a bedroom, office, or hallway when beige feels too plain.

Because it sits in the deeper middle range, it benefits from light trim and balanced lamps. Warm bulbs bring out the rosy side. Cool daylight makes it more taupe. Pair it with dark wood or ivory textiles.

Monkeypod 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.
