Valspar

Autumn Blaze

2002-1A

Autumn Blaze is a saturated red-orange with real heat. No subtlety here, and that is the appeal. Use it where one small surface can carry the punch, such as an entry door or powder room ceiling.

Across an entire room, it will dominate and warm every nearby white. Charcoal, cream, and deep olive can steady it. Test at night, because warm bulbs can push it toward tomato.

Autumn Blaze 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.
