Valspar

Desert Rose

2004-3C

Desert Rose is a warm coral clay, sitting between pink, orange, and terracotta. Desert Rose feels sunbaked. Desert Rose works in dining rooms, baths, and accent spaces where warmth should be visible.

In direct sun, it can become lively. For support, choose ivory, aged brass, and muted green textiles. Keep a sample of Desert Rose near the main doorway before choosing sheen.

Desert Rose 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.
