Valspar
Classic Red
1009-2
The low LRV makes it shadowy on broad walls. Cream trim warms it, and crisp white makes it sharper. Test near brick before exterior use, because reds can clash more easily than they appear on chips.

Classic Red 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
10.5LRV 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.
