Valspar

Crater

V135-6

Crater is a deep mushroom brown with gray and gold both present. At this depth, Crater behaves more like stained wood than beige paint. Use it where a room needs quiet weight, such as lower cabinets, a study, or wainscoting.

Low light closes it in. Pale stone counters and warm white walls keep the color from turning muddy. A painted poster board will explain it better than the chip.

Crater 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.
