Valspar

Yellow Lab

T528

Yellow Lab is a warm golden tan with a honeyed undertone. It reads friendly. On walls, it works best in spaces with casual wood furniture or woven rugs.

The color can also bring life to a back entry that feels underlit. Avoid icy white trim, which may make it appear more yellow. A creamier white keeps the contrast comfortable. A larger swatch will show the gold.

Yellow Lab 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.
