Valspar

Jam Jar

M221

Jam Jar is a deep berry red with a cool magenta undertone. The magenta cast deepens the berry. Reserve it for a front door, powder room vanity, or lacquered cabinet where the color feels deliberate.

On full walls, it will close the room in and needs strong lamps. Brass or black metal both work, but keep nearby whites clean. A matte finish may show scuffs quickly on this saturated shade.

Jam Jar 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.
