Valspar

Summers End

6005-4C

Summers End is a dark olive brown, more shaded moss than ripe straw. Give it purpose. Lower cabinets or a front door are easier than four full walls, especially in rooms without strong lamps.

The color can go dense quickly, so pale ceilings and cream-painted trim matter. Natural fiber rugs help it feel earthy instead of drab, and brass hardware will pull a little warmth from the brown-green base.

Summers End 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.
