Valspar

Safari Sun

3004-5B

Valspar Safari Sun is a golden ocher orange that feels sunbaked rather than neon. It has cheerful weight. Put it in a breakfast area, mudroom, or on painted furniture where warmth matters.

The color can energize a north-facing room, though it may look intense on every wall. Use cream, olive-gray, or natural cane to steady the palette. Cool white trim will sharpen it, so choose the trim temperature with care.

Safari Sun 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.
