Valspar

Autumn Meadow

M232

Autumn Meadow is a medium burnt orange with a golden clay undertone. It feels sun-warmed. It suits a back entry, breakfast space, or on lower cabinets when the design needs color with earthiness.

The shade has enough depth to avoid looking pastel. Warm whites suit it better than sharp blue whites. A little black metal nearby gives the orange a cleaner edge.

Autumn Meadow 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.
