Valspar

Planet Fever

V006-3

Valspar Planet Fever is a serious red, closer to cranberry leather than cheerful cherry. It has brown underneath, grounding the shade on dining room walls or an interior door. The shade drinks light.

Use it where evening lamps are part of the plan, then keep surrounding whites creamy to avoid a harsh red edge. Check it against rugs with burgundy or orange, because neighboring reds can shift the whole room.

Planet Fever 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.
