Valspar

Adobe Dusk

M145

Adobe Dusk is a deep burnt orange with a terra-cotta brown base. Burnt orange suits handmade tile. This is a statement color for a powder room, front door, fireplace wall, or lower cabinets, not a timid beige.

LRV 23 means it will darken in shaded rooms. Warm white trim supports it. Dark bronze or handmade tile adds weight. Bright cool whites can make the orange feel harsher. A satin finish helps on high-touch surfaces.

Adobe Dusk 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.
