Valspar

Open Arms

V165

Open Arms is a bright warm cream with a peachy beige undertone. It feels welcoming without turning yellow. This shade works for living rooms or bedrooms with warmer floors and trim.

It reflects plenty of light, so large spaces stay open. Pair it with muted blues or dark bronze for balance. Cool gray counters can make the peach side more obvious.

Open Arms 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.
