Ultra White Valspar 7006-24

Valspar Ultra White (7006-24) LRV and undertone

Valspar Ultra White (7006-24) has an LRV of 93.59, placing it near the brightest end of the white color range. Light reflectance value measures how much visible light a painted surface reflects. At this level, the finish can help a room feel brighter and can support spaces with limited natural light. Ultra White belongs to the white color family and has a subtle warm, yellow undertone calculated from its Lab values. Although the surface reads as white, that undertone can become more noticeable beside cooler whites or under certain lighting conditions.

For walls, ceilings, or trim, consider how surrounding finishes affect the comparison. North-facing rooms generally receive cooler daylight, while south-facing rooms receive warmer, more direct light. Therefore, the perceived warmth may vary throughout the day. Test a sample beside your flooring and trim before choosing a whole-room finish.

Lighter and darker Valspar alternatives

All four listed same-brand alternatives are darker by LRV. Valspar Du Jour (7002-6), at 86.04, is the closest listed option by ΔE at 2.0 and reflects less light. Valspar Swiss Coffee (7002-16), at 86.15, has ΔE 2.4. Valspar Dove White (7002-7), at 85.13, has ΔE 3.6, while Valspar Summer Gray (7006-17), at 80.27, has ΔE 3.7.

Choose a lower-LRV alternative when you want less reflected light or more separation from brighter white trim. Du Jour and Swiss Coffee offer relatively small LRV reductions, while Summer Gray creates a larger brightness difference. Compare samples in the intended sheen because sheen can affect perceived brightness and contrast.
