Valspar

Bear Claw

2004-5A

Bear Claw is a deep reddish brown with a clay-orange undertone. Clay warmth gives it weight. Use it on exterior doors, fireplace walls, or cabinetry when warmth needs depth.

The color may look like aged brick beside cream trim. In dim rooms, it darkens toward cocoa. Pair with limestone, black iron, or woven shades. If existing floors are orange, check that the combination still has enough contrast.

Bear Claw 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.
