Valspar

Smoky Topaz

V134-4

Smoky Topaz is a muted taupe-tan with a warm gray backbone. It reads more stone than jewelry. The color can settle a living room, hallway, or bedroom with mixed wood tones.

In bright light, it looks like a comfortable beige. In shade, the taupe side becomes stronger. Pair with cream trim or black accents. If the counters are cool quartz, sample first so the warmth does not feel mismatched.

Smoky Topaz 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.
