Glidden
Derby Brown
PPG1073-6
Look at it for a study, entry, or on exterior trim where gray would look too cold. Stone, cream paint, or aged metal keep the color grounded. In shaded spaces, the brown deepens and the rosy note recedes. A larger sample helps reveal whether it suits nearby wood tones.
Color Codes
Derby Brown 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
46.3LRV 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.
