Valspar

Portland Twilight

V121-3

Portland Twilight is a charcoal olive gray with almost no flashiness. The value is deep. It suits library shelves, a den, or shutter paint when black feels too stark.

Because the color has a warm green undertone, it works nicely with tan brick and weathered wood. Bright white trim can look severe against it, so compare softer whites on the same wall.

Portland Twilight 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.
