Valspar

Cedar Ridge

M154

Cedar Ridge is a dark golden brown, close to aged cedar bark with an orange undertone. It can work beautifully on exterior accents, a mudroom bench, or a furniture piece that needs warmth and age. Indoors, it asks for lighter walls around it.

The color may get heavy near orange floors, so sample against the actual wood. Stone, cream plaster, and black hardware keep the brown from feeling dated.

Cedar Ridge 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.
