Valspar

Autumn Bark

M126

Autumn Bark is a very dark russet brown with a strong orange base. It feels wooded and warm. The color can anchor an entry door, den wall, or cabinet color against lighter surroundings.

Warm white and dark metal keep it from looking dull. In matte, it may swallow detail, so consider satin where trim profiles matter. Skip it next to red floors unless sampled together.

Autumn Bark 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.
