Valspar

Cake Pop

V041-1

Cake Pop is a pale pink with a creamy, slightly cool undertone. Its bright value keeps the blush light, even across full walls. A bedroom, dressing room, or powder room suits it when blush should stay light.

Because it is bright, the pink may spread farther than expected on full walls. Pale wood and a gentle trim white keep it soft. Gray carpet can pull it toward a dusty rose.

Cake Pop 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.

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.
