Valspar

Arctic Tundra

T585

Arctic Tundra is deep brown carried by a muted red-orange base. It feels earthy, not frosty. It can anchor a fireplace wall, library built-ins, or exterior trim when black feels too severe.

In weak light, it becomes a near espresso shade. Use pale stone, cream walls, or textured linen nearby to keep the room from closing in. Test sheen carefully because flat dark brown can scuff fast.

Arctic Tundra 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.
