Valspar

First of Fall

V011-3

First of Fall is a saturated burnt orange with a strong pumpkin-ocher base. The pumpkin-ocher base has enough depth for doors and benches. Save it for a front door, bench, or dining nook where the design can support a warm statement.

The color sits deep enough to feel rich, not pastel. Choose cream trim and dark green accents around it. In sunlight, the orange becomes much more assertive. Sample a full board.
