Valspar

Tuxedo

8006-8G

Tuxedo reads as near-black blue charcoal with a cool, formal edge. Blackness leads, with a blue edge. Use it on doors, railings, cabinets, or a dramatic office wall.

The color looks sharp beside warm white trim and polished nickel. In flat paint, touch marks can show quickly. Choose a washable finish, especially on doors and built-ins that get handled every day.

Tuxedo 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.
