Valspar

Brown Button

V087-5

Brown Button is a medium-deep brown, warmed by caramel undertones. The warmth is steady. It can ground an office, accent wall, or painted furniture piece, especially with natural textures nearby.

LRV 14 means it will darken in shaded spaces. Pair with ivory walls or pale stone for lift. In glossy finishes, the brown becomes richer and more furniture-like.

Brown Button 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.
