Valspar

Caviar

8006-4G

Caviar is almost black, with a charcoal body and slight green-gray cast. The color is severe on large walls, so give it a job: doors, railings, shutters, built-ins, or a small room meant to feel enclosed. Light matters here.

Its very low value will absorb reflections quickly. Use crisp contrast at trim and ceiling lines, then add warmth through wood or brass. On exteriors, it can look softer than a pure black.

Caviar 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.
