Valspar

Shetland

8002-18E

Valspar Shetland is a warm caramel brown with a golden-orange core. It feels rustic. Use it on built-ins, a mudroom bench, exterior trim, or a cozy study wall.

The color looks brighter in direct sun and more leathery in shade. Choose cream, olive, or blackened metal around it. If existing floors already lean orange, test a large sample to keep the scheme from feeling too amber.

Shetland 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.
