Valspar

Boston Legacy

2005-9A

Boston Legacy is a deep brown with a smoky red undertone. The color feels traditional. It can work on exterior trim, built-ins, or a paneled powder room when paired with lighter walls.

The low value will make it look weighty, so do not expect a casual tan. Warm white trim suits it better than bright white. Leather and old brass feel natural beside it.

Boston Legacy 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.
