Valspar

Santa's Beard

8007-6E

Valspar Santa's Beard is a very bright warm white with a soft creamy base. Its very high LRV helps ceilings and trim stay bright. The color works for trim, ceilings, and walls when a stark white feels too cold.

It pairs nicely with warm woods, stone, and muted green cabinetry. In rooms with low natural light, it may show a gentle ivory cast. Sample beside existing whites, since mismatched whites often create the real problem.
