Valspar

Navajo Horizon

2003-9C

Navajo Horizon is a muted terracotta beige with a brown-pink undertone. It reads earthy, not orange. This shade can warm a dining room or bedroom with dark wood furniture.

The color gets richer at wall scale than it appears on a small chip. Pair with ivory trim and woven textures. In cool northern exposure, the clay note can flatten, so lamps matter.

Navajo Horizon 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.
