Valspar

Faint of Heart

V042-3

Faint of Heart is a warm coral pink with a creamy peach base. That coral base brings more energy than a barely-there blush. Place it in a powder bath, dressing room, or on a painted dresser where the color can be intentional.

On full walls, it may feel brighter than expected because the value is near mid-light. Lean on ivory trim and pale wood for relief. Avoid pairing it with blue-gray unless the contrast is deliberate.
