Valspar

Brazen

8002-23G

Brazen is a deep golden ochre with a browned orange base. It feels bold and earthy. This color can carry a front door, bookcase, or small dining nook, especially with cream walls around it.

LRV 19 keeps it from behaving like a sunny yellow. Pair with dark green or black metal. In western exposure, the gold may flare brighter late in the day.

Brazen 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.
