Valspar

Scarlet Butter

8002-10A

Valspar Scarlet Butter is a pale peach-pink with a creamy warmth. The name sounds louder. It can soften bedrooms, baths, or a nursery without feeling sugary.

In bright sun, it may shift more peach than pink. Warm white trim, maple, or brushed nickel can keep it delicate. Cool blue-white whites can make the shade seem slightly fleshy, so compare trim samples first.

Scarlet Butter 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.
