Valspar

Russet Red

2011-7

Valspar Russet Red is a deep rust red, closer to dried chili and brick than cherry. That burnt-orange undertone keeps the red closer to old brick. It looks strong on exterior shutters, a mudroom bench, or a dining room below picture molding.

Bright daylight emphasizes the earthy red. Choose cream, olive, or weathered wood around it. If the house has existing brick, compare samples outside because two similar reds can fight.

Russet Red 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.
