Valspar

Candy Floss

8001-9C

Valspar Candy Floss is a light warm pink with a clear coral base. The coral base keeps the pink bright and playful. A bedroom, bath, or playful hallway where the color should read cheerful rather than dusty can carry it.

Once painted, it can brighten more than expected in direct sun. Warm white trim and pale wood keep it friendly. Rooms with gray carpet, sample before committing because the pink may turn flat.

Candy Floss 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.
