Valspar

Holiday Velvet

T603

Holiday Velvet is a blackened teal-blue with a richer, cleaner cast than charcoal. Velvet fits. The shade can strike hard across a front door, vanity, or built-in cabinet wall.

At LRV 8, it will absorb a lot of light, so plan lamps before using it across a room. White trim gives strong contrast. Brass brings warmth. Matte paint may scuff visibly on busy doors.

Holiday Velvet 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.
