Valspar

Second Blush

1007-3C

Valspar Second Blush is a warm raspberry pink with a lively red undertone. Soft blush is quieter. Try it in a powder room, bedroom accent, or painted furniture where warmth and charm matter.

On large walls, it will feel saturated. Ivory trim, natural oak, or charcoal accents keep it grounded. Cool daylight can pull the shade slightly cleaner and more pink.

Second Blush 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.
