Valspar

Passionate

T502

Valspar Passionate is a dark muted plum with a brown violet base. In a dining room, it can feel intimate and tailored, especially above paneling or on a ceiling. Light disappears quickly here.

Use glossy accents, cream shades, and larger samples before committing to all four walls. The color looks best when the surrounding finishes have warmth, not icy gray.

Passionate 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.
