Valspar

Fairy Floss

V041-2

Fairy Floss is a light blush pink with a clean, airy feel. The clear blush needs restrained fabrics to avoid sweetness. It can soften a nursery, bedroom, or bath when the design avoids extra sweetness.

Its lightness spreads a gentle pink cast across the room. Ivory trim or pale wood keeps it tender. Black accents add enough structure. Cool gray flooring may make the blush look brighter.

Fairy 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.
