Valspar

Safari Brown

6009-1

Valspar Safari Brown is a very dark brown-gray with a quiet red warmth. It is nearly black. This shade works best on doors, railings, furniture, or exterior shutters where a softer black feels useful.

On full walls, it needs lamps and reflective surfaces. Use creamy plaster, tan leather, or brushed steel for nearby materials. Because the color is low-chroma, it can shift toward charcoal beside cool flooring.
