Valspar

Iris Blossom

1001-5C

Iris Blossom is a medium lavender with a muted blue-violet center. It reads floral, but not sugary. The color has enough depth for a guest room or painted dresser, especially with off-white walls nearby.

In cool daylight, expect a clearer purple. Warm bulbs nudge it toward mauve. Try silver frames or dark stained wood beside it. Test before using it in a low-light room, where it can feel heavier.

Iris Blossom 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.
