Valspar

Derby

V091-6

Derby is a dark golden brown with a saddle-leather undertone. Its low value gives cabinets a saddle-brown depth without reading black. Derby suits cabinetry, an entry door, or a den wall with generous lighting.

LRV 11 reads dark. Cream trim, black hardware, and warm stone keep the depth intentional. Paint two coats of it before judging the undertone, then check it after sunset.

Derby 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.
