Valspar

Maroon Rover

V079-6

Maroon Rover is a deep muted red, carrying a brown-plum base. It feels steady rather than flashy. The color can ground a dining room, library niche, or exterior door.

Since it sits in the dark range, use it where the lighting can keep the undertone visible. Cream trim softens the contrast. Dark walnut gives it a traditional mood. Bright cherry reds nearby can make it look dull.

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.
