Valspar

Purple Valley

1001-5A

Purple Valley is a deep muted violet with a blue gray cast. It reads serious. Use the color for a media room, office, or accent ceiling where darkness supports the mood.

Because LRV 11 is low, the color needs lamps that wash the walls. For Purple Valley, creamy trim plus walnut. White marble may feel too sharp beside it. Keep the ceiling lighter.
