Valspar

Slice of Brioche

M153

Slice of Brioche is a warm tan with a baked bread undertone. It feels comfortable. This is a useful wall color for kitchens, hallways, or family rooms with warm flooring.

On broad surfaces, it reads richer than cream but lighter than camel. Pair with off-white trim and dark bronze hardware. For rooms with pink-beige carpet, test a big sample so the tan does not look too rosy.

Slice of Brioche 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.
