Valspar

Tea Stain

6001-1A

Valspar Tea Stain is a light warm gray beige, close to aged paper. Its aged-paper warmth gives connected rooms a softer landing than clean gray or builder white. Living rooms, offices, and halls suit it when white feels too bare and tan feels too strong.

Its comfortable lightness makes it easy across connected spaces. Black hardware, warm trim, or natural linen can add enough definition. Check it against cabinet whites before painting connected rooms.

Tea Stain 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.
