Valspar

Tea Party

V096-2

Tea Party is a muted straw greige with a soft green yellow cast. The green yellow cast is soft enough for cabinets when cream would feel too sweet. This color can work in bedrooms, halls, or kitchen cabinets where warmth needs to feel restrained.

The mid-light value gives gentle contrast against trim. Pair it with oak, cream, or honed stone. If the room has cool gray tile, sample carefully before choosing it.

Tea Party 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.
