Valspar

Shrimp Shell

V008-2

Valspar Shrimp Shell is a bright peach-orange with a coral edge. It brings clear warmth. The shade suits a powder room wall, painted dresser, laundry room, or playful dining nook.

Full rooms will feel energetic, especially with western sun. Warm white, aqua, or light oak keep the room from floating. Pink beige tile needs a bigr test area because the shared undertones may push the color too rosy.

Shrimp Shell 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.
