Valspar

Vintage Caramel

V090-6

Vintage Caramel is a dark caramel brown with a clear golden-orange undertone. It feels warm and aged. Cabinetry, an exterior door, a bar area, or trim in a plastered room can handle it.

Around LRV 14, it will read dark unless light hits it directly. Stone, leather, or creamy white keep it grounded. Avoid cool gray counters if the goal is softness.

Vintage Caramel 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.
