Valspar

Karmic Grape

4002-8C

Karmic Grape is a deep blue-violet with a smoky ink quality. This is inkier than purple. A music room, powder bath, or built-in wall lets the color act almost like navy.

LRV 10 means the room needs lamps, not just overhead light. Warm wood helps the violet feel grounded. Crisp trim keeps it from fading into shadow. Sample the sheen first.

Karmic Grape 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.
