Valspar

Sun-Drenched

T517

Sun-Drenched is a warm apricot tan with a distinct golden pull. It is sunny, not pale. Use it in breakfast rooms, mudrooms, or a painted island when the space needs warmth and movement.

The color can intensify in west-facing light. Ivory trim, clay tile, or medium oak will work, then keep nearby wall colors quieter so the orange note does not fight.

Sun-Drenched 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.
