Valspar

Autumn Ivy

V044-5

Autumn Ivy reads as a warm brick-copper brown, despite the green suggestion in the name. Trust the swatch. It can add depth to a dining room, fireplace surround, or painted cabinet without becoming red-red.

The orange base keeps it earthy. Pair with ivory plaster, dark bronze, or weathered wood. If the home already has strong orange oak, sample carefully so the room does not feel one-note.

Autumn Ivy 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.
