Valspar

Montana Wheat Field

V051-3

Montana Wheat Field is a golden wheat tan with a strong orange-yellow base. It feels sun-warmed. Try it for a breakfast room, pantry, or small entry where warmth is welcome.

It will look richer on large walls than on the chip. Cream trim blends softly. A cleaner white gives sharper contrast. If the space already has honey oak, sample carefully before adding more golden warmth.

Montana Wheat Field 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.
