Valspar

Wild Mustard Seed

M159

Softness is the point. Wild Mustard Seed brings comfortable mid-light golden tan with a controlled undertone, useful when plain neutrals feel flat. A good spot is across a powder room, provided the architecture has older trim.

View the sample near the tile sample after the paint has fully dried. Beside pale maple, the undertone feels more deliberate, so keep sheen in mind on doors and cabinets.

Wild Mustard Seed 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.
