Valspar

Potters Rock

1007-9A

Potters Rock reads as reddish brown clay, like a damp terra cotta pot after rain. The red undertone matters. It makes handsome lower cabinets, a study accent, or a fireplace wall with creamy plaster nearby.

Because it sits in the dark range, it needs contrast from trim and furnishings. Avoid pairing it with very pink beige, which can blur the color.

Potters 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.
