Valspar

Pick of the Litter

V129-4

Valspar Pick of the Litter is a warm taupe beige with a muted pink brown undertone. It can settle a living room with stone, wool, or older wood trim. The color is grounded.

The mid depth offers more definition than pale greige, so check it in small rooms before using it everywhere. Creamy whites and blackened bronze both suit it.
