Valspar

Perennial

8001-25G

Valspar Perennial is a mossy mustard gold, not a garden green. Mustard comes first, olive second. Its depth suits an entry bench, a pantry door, or painted shelving, especially near warm oak.

On four walls, the yellow can crowd a dim room, so leave it breathing room with pale stone or off white casing. Test beside any existing brass, since similar undertones can get loud together.

Perennial 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.
