Valspar

Aged Bourbon

V081-5

Aged Bourbon is a deep reddish brown with a warm leather undertone. It feels rich quickly. Use it on built-ins, interior doors, or a compact dining room where depth suits the mood.

LRV 16 means full walls need lamps at more than one height. Cream trim brings relief. Black hardware keeps it sharp. Avoid flat paint in busy areas, since dark warm browns show fingerprints and scuffs.

Aged Bourbon 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.
