Valspar

Rosy Linen

V126-3

Valspar Rosy Linen sits between taupe, beige, and faded rose. It has a fabric-like softness. The color can act as a neutral in a bedroom or sitting room, especially with flax linen, pale oak, and brushed nickel.

North light may pull it slightly gray, which helps keep the pink from feeling precious. Avoid stark blue-white trim; that contrast can make the wall color look dull and heavy.
