Valspar

Dark Night

4003-4C

Dark Night is a deep blue gray with muted navy underneath. It has presence. This color works on built-ins, bedroom walls, and interior doors where plain gray would feel weak.

Its LRV 10 keeps it firmly dark, so light trim matters. Walnut, cream lampshades, and brushed nickel all suit the cooler depth. Move the sample around so Dark Night meets every exposure.
