Valspar

Orchid Shimmer

V038-1

Orchid Shimmer is a pale pink-lavender with a cool gray veil. Its gray veil keeps the lavender-pink tint from looking sugary. This color suits bedrooms or bath walls when a white room needs a delicate tint.

Creamy trim keeps the softness. Silver hardware makes it cooler. In direct sun, the pink can show more clearly. In shade, it becomes a faint lavender-gray, so sample on multiple walls.

Orchid Shimmer 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.
