Valspar

Velvet Curtains

P029

Velvet Curtains is an inky dark teal, saturated but shaded. The blue green reads dramatic. It works on vanities, built-ins, doors, and intimate rooms where depth feels intentional.

At LRV 9, it will not behave like a bright jewel tone indoors. Use enough sheen on cabinetry to catch light. Pair it with marble, brass, or warm white walls. In daylight, the green side comes forward.

Velvet Curtains 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.
