Valspar

Bare Necessity

V082-1

Bare Necessity is a pale peach cream with a warm, milky base. It feels soft immediately. This shade softens bedrooms, nurseries, or a powder bath without becoming a saturated blush.

On large walls, expect a gentle apricot glow. Choose ivory trim, warm woods, or brushed brass. Cool gray flooring can sharpen the peach edge, so place the sample near the floor before deciding.

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.
