Valspar

Ragtop

M131

Ragtop is a very dark reddish brown, like worn leather in a shaded car. Casual tan is not the message. It makes sense on an entry door, den paneling, or cabinets where the low value can feel intentional.

The color will go nearly black without good light. For Ragtop, brass plus cream paint. Let hardware bring back the warmth. Old woodwork can handle it.

Ragtop 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.
