Valspar

Pop of Poppy

M253

Pop of Poppy is a deep red with a browned edge, not a candy apple shade. It needs light around it. On a front door, powder room vanity, or built in bar, the color feels tailored and dense.

For Pop of Poppy, Creamy trim plus aged brass so the red does not turn harsh. Flat walls may scuff quickly, so a washable finish earns its keep here.
