Valspar

Pretty Peony

1006-3B

Pretty Peony is a muted berry pink with a dusty red base. Its deep red undertone keeps the pink grown up. The shade works on a dressing room wall, built in bookcase, or small dining room where the color can feel plush.

Since it is deep, surround it with lighter fabrics or trim. Walnut and cream balance the rosy side. Cool daylight can pull it toward mauve, so sample first.

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.
