Valspar

Warm Buff

3002-10A

Warm Buff is a mid-depth buff beige with a golden peach undertone. It has substance. Use it in dining rooms, bedrooms, or older hallways where warm wood needs a wall color that can keep up.

It can feel rich beside cream trim and brass. At LRV 48, it will not behave like an off white. Cool gray counters may make the buff tone look stronger.

Warm Buff 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.
