Valspar
Velvet Beret
1001-3A
At LRV 8, the color needs deliberate lighting and a lighter ceiling. Cream trim lets the smoky plum read intentional instead of flat black. Black metal makes it moodier. On full walls, sample in the evening because the purple can collapse into near-black.

Velvet Beret 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
7.7LRV 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.
