Valspar

Ancient Labyrinth

M206

Ancient Labyrinth is a medium-dark taupe gray with a muted olive-brown cast. The color feels stony. A study, entry, or cabinets can use it when a neutral needs depth without turning charcoal.

LRV 19 means full rooms need good lamps and lighter trim. Cream whites make it warmer. Cleaner whites bring out the gray. It can look especially steady beside limestone or concrete.

Ancient Labyrinth 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.
