Valspar

Pink Plunge

1001-1C

Valspar Pink Plunge brings a medium mauve pink with a violet undertone. It feels more boutique than nursery. In a powder room, it can make white fixtures look intentional and crisp.

The color has body. The mid value calls for enough lighting and simple trim. Warm brass and marble both suit it. Leather can brown it slightly. Floor tile should stay crisp.

Pink Plunge 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.
