Cream Delight Valspar 7002-14

Cream Delight LRV and undertone

Valspar Cream Delight (7002-14) has an LRV of 84.94, placing it in the light range of the white color family. Its hex value is #F2EDE2, and its calculated undertone is warm, with a yellow influence. Light reflectance value measures the proportion of visible light a paint color reflects, from 0 for absolute black to 100 for pure white. With an LRV near 85, Cream Delight reflects substantial light and can help walls appear brighter, although the result still depends on window exposure, room dimensions, and nearby finishes.

The yellow undertone distinguishes this white from cooler whites that lean toward blue or gray. Warm undertones can become more noticeable beside cool finishes, while warmer lighting may reinforce their appearance. In north-facing rooms, cooler daylight can change how a warm white reads; south-facing rooms generally receive warmer, stronger daylight. Sample the paint beside flooring, countertops, and trim before committing. A contrasting white trim may make undertone differences more apparent, so compare the actual finishes together.

Lighter and darker Valspar alternatives

Valspar Swiss Coffee (7002-16), at LRV 86.15, is slightly lighter than Cream Delight. Valspar Du Jour (7002-6), at LRV 86.04, is also lighter, as is Valspar Dove White (7002-7), at LRV 85.13. These small LRV differences may suit a room where a marginally brighter white is preferred, but reflectance alone does not establish which color will look warmer.

Valspar Cozy White (3008-10C) has an LRV of 79.76, making it the darker option among these alternatives. Its lower reflectance may suit spaces where a white with less light reflection is preferred. Compare each dried sample under daylight and evening lighting, because adjacent colors and artificial light can change the perceived difference.
