Valspar

Nectar

8001-24F

Nectar is a saturated golden yellow with a warm honey center. It needs restraint. Use it for a front door or painted furniture when cheerful color suits the architecture.

Against white trim, it will look crisp and bright. Against warm oak, it becomes more mellow. Because the color has real chroma, place a large sample near nearby fabrics before committing to broad walls.

Nectar 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.
