Valspar
Royal Velvet
V077-6
It will swallow daylight in shaded rooms, so plan sconces or lamps before painting every wall. Cream trim, smoked glass, and dark bronze hardware keep the color rich instead of theatrical.

Royal Velvet 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
6.2LRV 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.
