Valspar

Molten Sulphur

V080-6

Molten Sulphur is not yellow. It reads as dark brick red with a brown base. The color can bring weight to a dining room, fireplace wall, or exterior door.

Since LRV 7 is very low, plan for lamps and light trim if it covers a room. A satin finish helps the red-brown stay alive. Pair it with warm stone or blackened metal. Cool gray surroundings may make it feel harsher.

Molten Sulphur 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.
