Valspar

Bedroom Plum

1004-8A

Bedroom Plum is a muted mauve with a taupe-gray base. It is soft, not sugary. The color can make a bedroom, dressing room, or powder bath feel warmer than gray without going fully pink.

At wall scale, the plum note appears most beside white trim. Warm lamps turn it rosier. Pair with dark wood or cream bedding. Avoid bright yellow accents unless a sharper contrast is wanted.

Bedroom Plum 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.
