Valspar

Nougat

T556

Nougat is a bright warm cream with a soft peach-beige undertone. It feels generous. This shade can make a bedroom or hallway look warmer without becoming yellow.

It pairs naturally with oak floors and woven materials. Against cool gray tile, the peach side can become more obvious. For whole-room use, compare it in daylight and under evening lamps before choosing.

Nougat 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.
