Valspar

Tangy

3008-1A

Tangy is a bright golden yellow with a strong citrus feel. It does not hide. Choose it for a front door, playroom accent, or cabinet interior where a clear burst of color makes sense.

The comfortably light value means it will glow, especially in sun. White, charcoal, or natural oak can keep large neighboring surfaces quieter. Test at night before using it widely.

Tangy 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.
