Valspar

Rue Bourbon

V129-6

Valspar Rue Bourbon is a deep brown with red-clay warmth and a slightly smoky edge. This is not a beige. It works on doors, built-ins, lower cabinets, or a den where shadow feels welcome.

The color can make white trim look especially bright, so choose a creamier white if the contrast feels harsh. Leather, black iron, and limestone all sit comfortably beside it. In dim hallways, add warm bulbs.
