Valspar

Teak

8003-20F

Teak is deep golden brown with the warmth of aged wood. It is not tan. Exterior accents and office walls can take it when the design needs a grounded color that still feels warm.

On lower cabinetry, use lighter counters or wall paint to keep the brown from feeling heavy. Dark bronze suits it, and natural stone will make the color look more refined.

Teak 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.
