Valspar

Pocketful of Posies

8003-1B

Valspar Pocketful of Posies is a muted lavender taupe, gray enough to feel restrained. It can work in bedrooms where beige feels dull and purple feels too much. The violet is quiet.

Its mid depth defines walls, especially against white trim. Pair with linen, brushed nickel, or dark wood for a mature direction. Floor lamps will warm the lavender. Carpet can make it grayer.
