Valspar

Papyrus Plant

8002-25D

Valspar Papyrus Plant has the dry gold tone of straw paper, warm and a little earthy. A sunny kitchen will make it glow. In lower light, it still reads cheerful because its comfortable lightness keeps the room open.

Use it with terracotta tile, creamy trim, or darker stained wood. If the room already has strong yellow oak, test carefully so the palette does not turn too golden. Put it against curtains.

Papyrus Plant 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.
