Valspar

Tomatillo

8001-26C

Valspar Tomatillo is a light golden yellow with a soft green undertone. It feels fresh but not neon. Kitchens, laundry rooms, or breakfast spaces suit it where a warm wall color should still feel clean.

Its comfortable brightness helps it bounce daylight. Warm white trim, pale oak, or black hardware can frame it. Red brick nearby needs a sample check.

Tomatillo 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.
