Valspar

Deepest Periwinkle

P074

Deepest Periwinkle is a medium-deep blue with a violet periwinkle undertone. The purple side is visible. Deepest Periwinkle suits bedrooms, creative offices, or on painted furniture when navy seems too serious.

Warm lamplight softens it. The color settles beside clean white, natural linen, or silver hardware for a cooler, tailored effect. Check Deepest Periwinkle after dark if the room relies on lamps.

Deepest Periwinkle 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.
