Valspar
Nectar of the Goddess
V018-3
Nectar of the Goddess is a deep mustard gold with a strong brown-orange base. The gold feels weighty. LRV 35 gives it mid-deep presence.
The color can make a dining room or accent cabinet feel collected rather than playful. It pairs well with cream trim and blackened metal. In afternoon sun, the golden side comes forward. Cool gray surroundings may make it look sharper, so test beside fixed finishes.
