Valspar

Rusted Earth

2002-7A

Valspar Rusted Earth is a dark rusty brown with a red-orange core. It feels baked and mineral. Save it for an entry door, fireplace wall, small study, or furniture that needs an old-world note.

There is enough darkness to hide minor marks better than pale clay shades. Limewash whites, blackened metal, or travertine ground it. Cool gray flooring can make it look heavier, so sample there first.

Rusted Earth 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.
