Valspar

Plink

4001-10A

Plink is a light orchid purple with a softened pink undertone. The color is playful. It belongs in a craft room, child bedroom, or powder bath when the rest of the palette stays simple.

Across a room, it may look brighter beside beige finishes. Good companions include crisp white trim with pale wood. If the room needs calm, use it on furniture instead of every wall.

Plink 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.
