Valspar

Calm Cupid

8003-2C

Calm Cupid is a muted mauve-pink with a gray beige base. It feels quiet rather than sugary. Use it for a bedroom, dressing nook, or powder room when pink needs restraint.

Brushed brass and cream trim bring warmth to the mauve. Cool gray floors can pull it more purple. In warm lamplight, the rose note becomes softer and less cosmetic.

Calm Cupid 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.
