Valspar

Faded Redwood

V083-4

Faded Redwood is a deep warm tan with a reddish clay base. It feels sun-dried. Consider it for a den, exterior accent, or lower cabinets where earthy warmth is wanted.

The depth means it will not act like a background beige. Work cream trim or dark green fabric into the room. In low light, it can move closer to brown than redwood.

Faded Redwood 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.
