Valspar

Fragrant Orchid

1006-6B

Fragrant Orchid is a dusty pink-lavender with a gentle gray base. It reads grown-up. Try the color in a dressing room or powder bath when the design needs softness without sweetness.

A guest bedroom can take it if the bedding stays calm. In cool daylight, the violet side becomes more visible. Warm lamps pull it closer to muted rose. Pair it with off-white trim and dark wood to keep the palette from feeling too airy.

Fragrant Orchid 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.
