Valspar

Fresh Roe

V087-6

Fresh Roe is a near-black brown with a roasted umber center. It absorbs light fast. Treat it as an accent or millwork color unless the room has strong layered lighting.

A front door, fireplace surround, or library cabinet can carry the depth well. The brown undertone keeps it warmer than charcoal. Use a satin finish on touched surfaces, because very dark matte paint shows marks quickly.

Fresh Roe 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.
