Valspar

Vintage Boots

M350

Vintage Boots is a dark warm gray brown, like worn leather after the color has faded. The undertone stays quiet. It suits doors, railings, built-ins, or a small office where black would feel too crisp.

At LRV 15, it needs good contrast to show its nuance. Pair with brass, cream walls, or textured wool. In matte, high-touch areas will mark easily.

Vintage Boots 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.
