Valspar

Rouge Red

1007-1B

Valspar Rouge Red is a softened coral red that still brings real punch. It is bolder than blush. The orange in the mix keeps it friendly, making it useful on a front door, a breakfast nook wall, or a painted hutch.

In bright sun it can lean tomato. Use it with warm white, rattan, or blue-gray textiles for balance. If the room already has red brick, test a large board before committing.

Rouge Red 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.
