Valspar

Icing on the Cake

8001-10B

Icing on the Cake brings bright pale pink with a creamy coral tint. It feels sweet but light. A nursery or vanity corner can use it if the rest of the palette stays restrained.

On walls, it will look warmer than a cool blush. Ivory trim blends gently. Crisp white makes the pink clearer. Sample near flooring, because gray carpet can turn this shade sharper.

Icing on the Cake 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.
