Valspar

Très Bien

8001-9G

Tres Bien is a deep red with a dry cranberry character rather than bright fire-engine energy. That low LRV gives the cranberry base real gravity. It can work on a front door, dining room wainscot, powder room walls, or a lacquered furniture piece.

At LRV 10, shadows make it moody fast, so plan good bulbs and a lighter ceiling. Charcoal, creamy white, or aged brass keep the red elegant.

Très Bien 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.
