Valspar

Urbane

T609

Urbane reads almost black, with olive charcoal and golden undertones. The olive charcoal base gives doors and millwork serious depth. The color belongs on doors, built-ins, exterior accents, or a study where depth is welcome.

At LRV 10, it will not behave like a medium green. Use lighter trim, good bulbs, and a washable finish in busy areas. Brass and warm wood pull out the olive; chrome makes it feel cooler.

Urbane 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.
