Valspar

Panacea

6002-3A

For rooms that need warmth without obvious color, Valspar Panacea offers a soft yellow ivory. It has more personality than builder white. The bright, comfortable value works in kitchens, entries, and small bedrooms where shadows need help.

Avoid very cool trim, because the walls may look buttery. Natural wood and warm stone are easier companions. Countertops decide the undertone. Late sun can deepen it.

Panacea 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.
