Valspar
Sahara Dust
8004-16A
South light may push the color a little warmer, so test it next to white trim. Oak floors, woven shades, and muted blue accents keep the scheme balanced. It works best when nearby whites are soft rather than icy.

Sahara Dust 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
76.0LRV 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.
