Valspar

Strawflower

V053-5

Strawflower is a saturated golden orange, closer to marigold petals than straw once it covers a wall. Saturation is the point. Use it where the color gets a defined job, such as a pantry door, breakfast chairs, or a painted mudroom bench.

Simple surroundings matter because this much yellow orange can fight busy counters. Honeyed wood and warm white trim suit it; cool gray floors make the color look harsher.
