Valspar

Smoked Paprika

8002-12G

Smoked Paprika reads as very dark red-orange, closer to dried chili than bright paprika. It carries heat. Use it in controlled places such as a front door, bar cabinet, or paneled powder room.

At LRV 8, it will drink in light and show dust on flat finishes. Warm white trim gives relief without fighting the color. Stone, leather, and matte black details suit its earthy weight.

Smoked Paprika 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.
