Valspar

Retrofit

8003-21G

Retrofit is a deep golden brown with a strong ochre cast. It reads like stained wood more than beige paint. The shade works in a den, pantry, or on a stair rail where the shade can feel architectural.

The dark value needs light surroundings. For Retrofit, Black accents plus cream walls. In warm sun, the gold comes forward. Let woodwork echo the brown.

Retrofit 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.
