Valspar

Valise

V086-6

Valise is an almost black saddle brown with orange warmth. It feels worn in. Use it on railings, doors, cabinetry, or a small study where a black-brown would be too stark.

At LRV 8, the color needs sheen and good light to show texture. Cream trim, leather, and natural stone support it well. Avoid pairing it with bluish whites unless a hard contrast is the goal.

Valise 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.
