Valspar

Soft Pink

1008-8B

Soft Pink is a muted blush with a peach-gray undertone. The peach-gray undertone keeps the blush mature on full walls. This is useful for a bedroom, bath, or dressing space where warmth should stay quiet.

On walls, it reads more plaster pink than bubblegum. Ivory trim and pale oak make it softer. Dark wood gives it structure. Cool gray tile can make the pink feel dustier, so sample right against the floor.

Soft Pink 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
