Valspar

Tangerine Silk

V049-2

Tangerine Silk reads as a light apricot cream with a clear orange warmth. It is soft, not timid. Use it in bedrooms, kitchens, or dressing rooms where a warm glow is welcome.

Because it sits in the comfortably light range, it can cover large walls without feeling dense. Pair it with ivory trim, natural cane, or muted teal accents for contrast.

Tangerine Silk 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.
