Valspar

Urban Auburn

T504

Urban Auburn is a dark red brown with a leather-like warmth. The red stays controlled. A front door, pantry cabinetry, a fireplace wall, or a compact dining room can carry it with lamps.

At LRV 8, the color goes rich and shadowy quickly. Cream, bronze, and walnut make sense around it. If the house has cool gray floors, they can deepen the red feel.

Urban Auburn 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.
