Valspar

Pishposh

8001-2E

Valspar Pishposh is a muted purple with a gray brown undertone. It has enough depth to feel moody, but not enough saturation to look theatrical. The color is dusty.

Consider it for a bedroom, powder room, or built ins with creamy trim. Good lighting matters because the deep range can make corners feel closed. Compare it with entry. View it with the room lamps.
