Valspar

Fruitwood

1006-7B

Fruitwood is a deep rosy brown, like stained cherry wood after it mellows. It has warmth and shadow. Use it on furniture, a small library wall, or exterior shutters when black would feel too severe.

The red undertone shows against gray and stone. Keep nearby whites warm. This color needs contrast, so avoid pairing it with similarly dark floors unless the room has plenty of lamps.

Fruitwood 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.
