Valspar

Sumatra Blend

2008-9A

Sumatra Blend reads as a very dark coffee brown with a muted orange undertone. The warmth feels coffee-dark. Use it for cabinetry, a fireplace surround, or an accent wall where rich brown belongs.

The shade pairs well with cream stone and brass. In rooms with limited daylight, it can read almost black, so sample with lamps on. Keep nearby fabrics lighter to prevent a heavy room.

Sumatra Blend 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.
