Valspar

Sweet Marmalade

2003-6B

Valspar Sweet Marmalade reads as a soft coral orange with a creamy base. It is warmer than pink. This shade can brighten a powder bath, playroom, or painted dresser without feeling neon.

The mid value gives it enough presence for an accent wall or millwork. Pair it with ivory trim, cane, or muted aqua, and watch it under warm bulbs.
