Valspar

Sweet

M149

Valspar Sweet is a peachy cream with a honeyed beige base. It feels warm right away. This color can flatter bedrooms, breakfast nooks, and bathrooms with warm bulbs.

The light value keeps it open, but sunny exposure can make the peach more obvious. Pair it with ivory trim, rattan, or muted green textiles so the room does not turn too sweet.

Sweet 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.
