Valspar

Sassafras Tea

V087-4

Valspar Sassafras Tea is a medium tan brown with a warm tea-stained undertone. The tea-brown undertone makes it useful near leather or vintage wood. Save it for a den, entry, or on cabinetry when beige needs more depth.

Sunlight brings out the orange-brown side. Shade makes it calmer and more taupe. Ivory, black metal, or muted green sit close to its undertone. If the floor has strong red oak tones, test a large sample to avoid too much warmth.
