Valspar

Lilac Buds

1004-8B

Lilac Buds is a pale pink with a barely lavender cast. It reads soft and warm. A bedroom, nursery, or vanity area works where blush should feel gentle rather than candy-colored.

Clean trim keeps it fresh. Cream trim softens the blush gently. In warm evening light, the pink becomes more noticeable. Pale wood and simple linen keep the room calm.

Lilac Buds 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.
