Valspar

Sandalwood

6008-2B

Valspar Sandalwood is a deep taupe-brown with muted gold in the base. It feels earthy and reserved. The color suits built-ins, office walls, cabinetry, and exterior accents where a medium brown would feel too warm.

Dim light can turn it read heavier than expected. Try warm white, slate, or linen for balance. If used with orange oak floors, add black or cream contrast so the palette does not flatten.
