Valspar

Sun Painter

8004-2C

Sun Painter is a soft mauve gray, more muted plaster than pink paint. The color is subtle. It can be useful in a bedroom, dressing room, or powder bath where warm gray needs a hint of color.

Because the undertone is rosy, compare it with flooring before choosing trim. Warm whites and brushed nickel keep it calm, and dark wood adds needed weight.
