Valspar

Mauve Blush

1006-10A

Mauve Blush is a muted rosy tan with a dusty peach undertone. It reads warm and adult. The color can soften a bedroom, dressing room, or powder bath without leaning sweet.

Low light moves it toward taupe. Strong sun brings out the blush. Ivory trim or dark wood balances it. Cool gray upholstery may make the pink side more obvious, so compare fabrics before painting.

Mauve Blush 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.
