Valspar

Sunlit Meadow

8001-26E

Valspar Sunlit Meadow is a golden chartreuse with enough softness to avoid looking electric. The yellow is strong. Put it where energy belongs, such as a laundry room, mudroom lockers, or a cheerful cabinet interior.

It can turn sharper under cool bulbs. Warm whites, tan leather, and natural wood steady the color and keep it from feeling too acidic on a larger surface.

Sunlit Meadow 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.
