A match of Valspar VR097B Nest reads as a muted, medium-deep taupe-brown with a warm yellow-brown undertone. The low chroma keeps it subdued, while the lower LRV gives it a darker, more shaded appearance rather than a light beige read.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, PVC trim pieces, shelf hardware, frames, and other small parts that need a quiet brown-neutral finish. It also fits maker and maintenance projects where removable components, display parts, or accessories are easier to finish with spray application than with a brush.

Because this is a deeper color, the substrate and surface prep can influence how quickly it covers. Lighter bases, patchy repairs, or rough textures may show through longer than they would with a similar color on a uniform surface, and sheen changes can make the tone read slightly lighter or darker. Allow for proper film build if you need even color across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ VR097B Nest *

If I order VR097B Nest by Valspar as a MyPerfectColor match, will matte and gloss finishes look the same after application?

No. The same matched color can read differently in matte, satin, and gloss because the finish changes how light reflects and how much depth the surface appears to have.

If you need VR097B Nest to coordinate with an existing painted part, choose the finish with that surface in mind and test on the actual item when possible.

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to VR097B Nest by Valspar should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the project, the surface texture, how well the surface hides the base color, the application method, and how many coats you need.

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet. If the surface is rough, porous, or a darker color, plan for extra material so you do not run short.

Where can I find the SDS for VR097B Nest by Valspar in MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the brand color name alone.

How do I confirm VR097B Nest by Valspar before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
