Valspar

Plush

8001-47E

Valspar Plush is a dusty periwinkle blue with enough violet to feel more upholstered than nautical. It has real depth, so use it with intent on a bedroom accent wall, a vanity, or a vintage dresser. The undertone cools the room.

Warm white trim can keep the color friendly, and brushed nickel will make it cleaner. Always compare it with bedding fabric, since beige linens may dull the violet.

Plush 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
