Valspar

Taffeta Darling

V079-5

Valspar Taffeta Darling is a deep dusty rose with a brown red base. Tailored, not candy colored. A powder room, bedroom, or cabinet run works when warm, muted color belongs in the plan.

The lower value needs good light and crisp contrast. Ivory trim, dark bronze, or walnut will support it, and pink beige tile deserves a sample check first.

Taffeta Darling 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.
