Valspar

Silken Stockings

V088-2

Silken Stockings sits between beige and light camel, with a soft pink-tan undertone. Try it near textiles. The color has enough depth to keep a living room from feeling blank, but it still works as a whole-room neutral.

It plays naturally with travertine, woven shades, or medium oak. In dim corners, expect a richer taupe cast. Crisp trim can sharpen it, though cream trim keeps the room quieter.

Silken Stockings 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.
