Valspar

Nostalgia

4007-6A

Nostalgia sits between muted teal-blue and weathered denim. It has a relaxed coastal feel. The color can work in a bedroom or on a bath vanity when aqua feels too bright.

White trim freshens it. Natural wood brings warmth. Because it lives near the middle-deep range, it can darken a north-facing room faster than the chip suggests.

Nostalgia 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.
