Valspar

Downing Street

8004-47G

Downing Street reads as a near-black charcoal navy with a restrained blue cast. It feels formal. Downing Street suits doors, paneling, cabinets, or exterior shutters where the low LRV can add structure.

Full rooms need careful lighting and pale contrast. Brass hardware and warm white trim stop it from looking flat. Use a movable board so Downing Street meets each corner.

Downing Street 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.
