Valspar

Mediterranean Sunset

V078-3

Mediterranean Sunset is a dusty blush with a taupe-gray base. The taupe-gray base keeps the blush quieter than a true pink. The color can warm a bedroom, vanity wall, or small sitting area without reading bright pink.

On a full wall, beige finishes will make it look rosier. Cooler daylight turns it more muted. Use ivory trim and dark bronze for balance. Compare red-toned wood carefully because the undertones may stack.
