Valspar

Ancient Burgundy

1011-6

Ancient Burgundy is a very dark wine red with a brown-black base. It needs intention. LRV 2 makes it near-black on interior walls, so use it for a door, cabinet, lacquered powder room, or small accent that can handle drama.

Warm white trim gives the red something to push against. Brass looks natural beside it. Flat paint will erase depth and show marks, so choose a richer sheen.

Ancient Burgundy 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.
