Valspar

Cinder Fox

4001-2B

Cinder Fox is a medium-dark mauve gray with a smoky purple-brown undertone. It can look surprisingly neutral when surrounded by warm wood and off-white trim. In cooler daylight, the violet side becomes easier to see.

That is where sampling matters. A bedroom, office, or painted furniture piece gets more character from it than from sterile gray. Keep yellowed beige away unless the sample still looks balanced.

Cinder Fox 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.
