"Class attribute" and "instance attribute" are the usual terms used in the Python documentation and community. I have heard other terms used in other language communities, in particular "members" and "variables", but I've never come across one that uses "value". Do you mind if you tell us where you have seen this used? We have 30 years of talking about class and instance attributes, we're not going to change now. Java has ClassValue: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/ClassValue.html and Scala talks about "value classes", but neither seem to be what you are talking about.
