Valspar

Poppy Petal

2001-1C

Poppy Petal is peachy coral with enough orange to feel sunny, not sugary. A peach undertone keeps the coral friendly on walls. It can wake up a small powder room, nursery ceiling, or painted dresser without requiring a loud red commitment.

Keep nearby whites warm and avoid blue white trim, which can make the color look sharper. Natural rattan and pale stone make easy partners.

Poppy Petal 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.
