Valspar

Sugar Leaves

V019-3

Valspar Sugar Leaves is a mustard gold with a greenish olive edge. That edge keeps it earthy. It can work on a front door, pantry cabinets, or a compact dining room where a standard yellow would feel too cheerful.

At LRV 41, the color has mid depth and shows its saturation clearly. Pair it with dark walnut or black iron for structure.

Sugar Leaves 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.
