Cozy White Valspar 3008-10C

Valspar Cozy White (3008-10C) LRV and undertone

Valspar Cozy White (3008-10C) has an LRV of 79.76, placing it in the light range with high light reflectance. Light reflectance value measures how much visible light a surface reflects, so this level can help walls maintain a bright appearance without reaching the reflectance of a near-white paint. Cozy White belongs to the white color family and has a calculated warm, yellow undertone. Its hex value, #EDE6DA, provides another reference point for comparing it with other light colors.

The warm undertone may stand out beside cooler whites, pale grays, or blue-based finishes. North-facing rooms generally receive cooler daylight, while south-facing rooms tend to receive warmer, more direct light. Because lighting changes color perception, assess a sample in both daytime and evening conditions. Also compare it with trim and flooring, since nearby surfaces can affect how warm or light a wall appears.

Lighter and darker Valspar alternatives

All four listed same-brand alternatives are lighter by LRV. Valspar Antique White (7002-20) has an LRV of 80.37 and ΔE 1.4, so it is very close and only slightly lighter. Valspar Cream Delight (7002-14), at LRV 84.94 and ΔE 1.7, also provides a very close option with greater light reflectance.

Valspar Dove White (7002-7) has an LRV of 85.13 and ΔE 1.8, making it another very close alternative that reflects more light. Valspar Gilded Linen (6002-1A), with LRV 73.84 and ΔE 2.5, is actually darker, not lighter, despite appearing among the listed same-brand alternatives. It is close but visibly different by ΔE. Consider Antique White for a small brightness increase and the higher-LRV options when more reflectance is needed. Test samples beside existing trim before choosing.
