Valspar

Lead Cast

5007-2B

Lead Cast is a deep warm gray with an olive-beige undertone. Olive warmth keeps it grounded. The color can ground an office, media room, or exterior accent without going black.

In dim spaces, it may lean muddy unless trim and lighting are strong. Warm white, leather, or dark bronze keeps the scheme from drifting. Use a large sample beside flooring because undertones matter here.

Lead Cast 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.
