Valspar

Virtuoso

M215

Virtuoso reads almost black, with plum charcoal and a purple undertone. It needs intention. Use it on built-ins, a powder room, a media room, or interior doors where the depth can look deliberate.

At LRV 4, it absorbs light heavily. Add sheen on trim or cabinetry so the color does not fall flat. Warm brass and cream trim bring out the plum.

Virtuoso 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.
