Valspar

Moon Rock

T501

Moon Rock is a deep warm charcoal with a brown undertone. It reads softer than black. Use it on doors, built-ins, or exterior trim where a low-contrast black substitute makes sense.

With LRV 7, it will absorb light on walls. Cream trim brings out the warmth. Bright white creates a sharper, more graphic edge. A satin finish will handle fingerprints better than flat paint.

Moon Rock 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.
