Valspar

Strawberry Malt

2008-8C

Valspar Strawberry Malt behaves like peachy beige carrying soft malted warmth. It is gentle, not sugary. This kind of color can flatter a bedroom, nursery, or dressing area when blush feels too pink and beige feels too flat.

Use linen, warm brass, or light walnut to keep it grounded. In strong sun, the peach comes forward, so sample a larger board before committing.

Strawberry Malt 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.
