Valspar

Voodoo Violet

V001-3

Voodoo Violet is a dark purple with a smoky blue-red balance. It feels shadowed. A bedroom wall, powder room, built-ins, or painted cabinet suits it when black seems too expected.

Near LRV 10, it needs lighter trim and enough lamp light. Brass warms it up. Cool chrome and gray floors can make the violet feel colder. Sample the finish carefully.

Voodoo Violet 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.
