Valspar

Nest

V131-5

Nest is a deep warm taupe with a brown base and a slight clay cast. It feels sheltered. This shade can make a den or built-in bookcase feel more intimate without going chocolate brown.

Use warm white trim for clean contrast. Leather and medium wood sit comfortably beside it. In shaded rooms, the color can lose its warmth and become a heavier gray-brown.

Nest 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.
