Valspar

Zanzibar Spice

2005-9B

Zanzibar Spice sits in deep clay-brown territory with red-orange warmth. It needs support. Use it for a front door or cabinetry when the surrounding palette can handle depth.

Cream trim will soften it, and dark bronze keeps the mood steady. In weak light, the color can feel heavier, so give the sample a full-wall test. Use a larger board than usual.

Zanzibar Spice 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.
