Valspar

New Baby Smell

T657

New Baby Smell reads as a bright off-white with a faint green-yellow tint. That green-yellow tint works best beside natural wood and soft white. It can freshen a nursery or hallway where a neutral white needs a slight natural cast.

Clean white trim may reveal the green note. Warm wood helps it feel softer. If the room has pink beige carpet, test carefully because the contrast can make the walls look cooler.

New Baby Smell 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
