Valspar

Tweedy

T588

Tweedy is a deep taupe brown with a muted khaki undertone. It reads sturdy. Built-ins, mudroom lockers, lower kitchen cabinets, or an office can use the warmth without pulling red.

Around LRV 20, it needs lamps or lighter surfaces nearby. Brass adds polish. Creamy walls nearby keep it livable. Against bright white, Tweedy can look rougher and more utilitarian.

Tweedy 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.
