Valspar

Comtesse

8001-2G

Comtesse is a very dark purple with a red-violet base. It is dramatic even before it reaches the wall. A powder room, furniture piece, or built-in bar gives the mood enough focus.

The low value will make the room feel smaller. That can be a strength. Pair with cream trim, brass, or black lacquer. Avoid muddy beige surroundings, which can make the purple look bruised instead of rich.

Comtesse 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.
