Valspar

Sweet Pastel

1007-8C

Sweet Pastel is pale peach gray, quieter and less sugary than the name promises. Its warmth stays soft. Bedrooms and bathrooms are good places for it when pink would feel too obvious but beige feels dull.

Clear daylight keeps the surface airy. Warm lamps reveal the peach more strongly, so sample near carpet and tile. Light wood or linen suits it better than icy gray fabric.

Sweet Pastel 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.
