Valspar

Pickled Beet

V041-6

Valspar Pickled Beet is a dark berry red with a brown violet base. It is best as a deliberate accent, not a casual backdrop. Use it on a powder room vanity, bookcase interior, or dining room ceiling.

This shade absorbs light. At LRV 7, larger walls need reflective surfaces and lamps. Pair with warm whites and aged brass. Compare it with jute.

Pickled Beet 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.
