Valspar

Walking Stick

V083-5

Walking Stick is a deep warm taupe with a reddish brown base. The reddish taupe base works hard on lower cabinets and doors. Lower cabinets, mudroom lockers, a study wall, or interior doors can carry it well.

Around LRV 20, keep lighter walls or counters nearby. Oak, black metal, or warm stone fit the color. In cool daylight, the taupe may look more gray and less brown, especially beside concrete.

Walking Stick 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.
