Valspar

Subtle Blush

3002-8C

Valspar Subtle Blush is a bright peach off white, more shell than rose. It stays warm. Use it where a room needs softness without committing to pink, such as a nursery, guest bath, or ceiling above creamy walls.

The high reflectance helps it bounce light, but southern exposure can amplify the peach. Natural oak and ivory trim are safer than crisp blue whites.
