Valspar

Semi-Precious

2001-8B

Valspar Semi-Precious is a warm muted coral with a sandy pink base. It feels sun-washed. The color can soften bedrooms, baths, and powder rooms, especially around cream trim and natural textures.

On cabinetry, it reads more distinctive and less neutral. Lean on brass, pale oak, or smoky green in the room. In direct sun, the coral will come forward, so check a large sample before using it widely.

Semi-Precious 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.
