Crushed Velvet

PPG1245-7

Crushed Velvet is a deep blue-violet with a saturated, inky cast. It needs purpose. Use it on built-ins, a bedroom accent wall, or a small powder room where drama belongs.

Warm brass and walnut keep it from feeling cold. In low light, the blue can darken fast and the violet becomes subtle. A satin sheen can help the color hold more dimension.

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.
