Valspar

Blush of Hyacinth

8003-2A

Blush of Hyacinth is a pale mauve-pink with a gray-violet undertone. The coolness is important. It feels more sophisticated than a peach blush, especially in a bedroom or dressing area.

Pair it with taupe, antique brass, or warm white trim to keep it from feeling chilly. Strong northern light may bring out the lavender. Test it beside flooring before committing.
