Valspar

Hunting Boots

1001-9A

Hunting Boots reads as a deep brown-gray with a muted red undertone. The red-brown undertone gives exterior doors and rails a softer alternative to black. The color suits exterior doors, stair rails, or built-ins where a softer black is wanted.

LRV 9 means it absorbs light, so indoor use needs contrast and layered lamps. Cream trim brings out the warmth. Cool white pushes it closer to charcoal. Use satin on high-touch areas because flat dark paint marks easily.

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.
