Valspar

Purple Fury

4001-4C

Purple Fury is a charcoal plum with a low, smoky saturation. It is moody, not loud. Let it work on cabinetry, a ceiling, or a small room where darkness feels like the goal.

With LRV 7, the color will absorb light and sharpen any trim contrast. Brass and warm wood bring out the violet. Gloss or satin helps the color keep dimension.

Purple Fury 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.
