Valspar

Lovebug

1005-10B

Lovebug is a muted dusty rose with a warm taupe base. It is not a bright pink. A bedroom, powder room, or dressing area can keep the blush feeling grown-up.

White trim makes the color cleaner. Cream trim pushes it warmer and softer. Set dark wood or linen nearby. Cool gray flooring can make the rosy undertone stand out sharply.

Lovebug 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.
