Valspar black paint colors

33 black paint colors from the Valspar Reserve / Signature deck. LRV ranges from 7.4 (lightest) down to 2 (darkest). Click any swatch to see how it cross-matches at the 10 other US paint brands.

True black on a wall almost always looks heavier than you expected. The picks below — the "designer blacks" — sit just shy of pure black, with subtle blue, brown, or green undertones that keep them from reading like a void.
