Valspar

Sassy Sassafras

8002-17E

Valspar Sassy Sassafras is a warm caramel orange with a golden-brown base. It feels sunlit and earthy. The color can work on a kitchen island, mudroom cabinetry, or a dining room accent where beige feels too tame.

In lower light, it reads more like burnt honey. Choose cream, deep teal, or dark bronze around it. Test beside oak floors, since similar amber tones can become too much together.
