Valspar

Veiled Vinyl

M231

Veiled Vinyl is a dark gray violet with a soft, shadowy cast. The purple is quiet. It can bring depth to bedroom walls, built-ins, or a powder room without going fully black.

Around LRV 9, plan brighter trim or reflective finishes. Warm gray textiles, smoked glass, or aged brass suit it. In cool light, the violet note becomes easier to see.

Veiled Vinyl 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.
