Valspar

Corduroy

3007-5A

Corduroy is a deep golden brown with an ocher undertone. It has a fabric-like warmth that suits studies, mudrooms, and cabinet accents. The color is too strong to treat as a casual beige.

Use it with pale trim, darker metal, or stone to keep the room defined. Dim corners pull it toward brown. Beside yellow oak, it may become more golden, so test before using it on every wall.

Corduroy 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.
