Valspar

Shaken or Stirred

T640

Valspar Shaken or Stirred is a muted khaki beige with a quiet green-gold undertone. It feels tailored but relaxed. Use it in offices, dining rooms, hallways, or built-ins if a neutral has to character.

The shade can look grayer in cool daylight and warmer beside wood. Cream trim, black hardware, or deep blue accents give it direction. Avoid bright yellow fabrics nearby; they can exaggerate the green-gold note.

Shaken or Stirred 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
