Seths Smile

8001-24D

Valspar Seths Smile is a clear golden yellow with a warm, buttery cast. It brings light. Try it in breakfast nooks, playrooms, craft rooms, or on a cheerful front door.

The color can brighten a shaded space, but it may feel intense in rooms with large south-facing windows. Cream trim, navy, or natural wood balance the brightness. Keep surrounding colors simple so the yellow has room to breathe.

Seths Smile 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.
