Valspar

Skylark

V134-5

Skylark lands in medium taupe-brown territory with a warm, sandy cast. The sandy brown base needs contrast from lighter textiles or trim. The color can ground an office, den, or stair wall without going as dark as chocolate.

In shaded rooms, it may move closer to mushroom brown. Use it with creamy trim, natural linen, or dark metal for contrast. If the flooring already has heavy orange tones, sample large to avoid a muddy result.

Skylark 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.
