Valspar

Fired Earth

6011-1

Fired Earth by Valspar is a very dark brown-charcoal with cool undertones, registering an LRV of 3.65. At hex #3a3530, it reads as a near-black neutral brown with faint gray and umber notes rather than a pure warm brown. This extremely low reflectance means it absorbs nearly all light, so it is best used on accent walls, doors, shelving, or cabinetry rather than full-room application.

Fired Earth pairs with lighter Valspar neutrals such as Du Jour, Filtered Shade, Gravity, Modern Gray, and Seashell Gray for contrast.
