Valspar

Model T

V140-6

Model T is a near-black charcoal with a slight green-gray cast. It feels mechanical and restrained. Use it on interior doors, stair rails, or exterior trim when pure black feels too hard.

On walls, it will need serious lighting to show its nuance. Soft white trim gives contrast without glare. Metal hardware suits it. Flat paint will mark easily, so choose sheen with traffic in mind.

Model T 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.
