Valspar

Temptation

6007-8B

Temptation is a lively yellow green with a chartreuse cast, brighter than sage and less acidic than lime. The chartreuse note makes it better for a controlled accent than a whole open floor plan. Laundry rooms and garden-facing spaces handle it best when the room needs energy.

Painted furniture is another safer target than every wall. Warm white and natural oak keep it approachable, but red-toned woods may make the green feel louder.

Temptation 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.
