Valspar

Mischief

V076-2

Mischief is a soft mauve-pink with a gray beige base. It feels playful in a quiet way. Bedrooms, powder rooms, or a dressing area work when a neutral needs a blush note.

On walls, it may look more beige in warm light. Cool daylight brings out the mauve. Ivory trim or deep wood keeps it grounded. Avoid bright magenta accents, which can make the shade look dull.

Mischief 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.
