Valspar

Orange Zest

V010-2

Orange Zest is a bright apricot-orange with a clean, sunny base. The apricot base keeps the orange juicy rather than rusty. The color can suit a side door or small bath where warmth should be obvious.

White trim helps it crisp. Natural rattan softens the edge. On all four walls, it may become intense by afternoon, especially in warm sunlight, so sample a generous patch. Restraint matters here.

Orange Zest 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.
