Valspar

Tender Shell

1006-10C

Tender Shell is a pale shell beige with a soft peach undertone. It feels warm but controlled. This color can flatter bedrooms, bathrooms, and nurseries when pink would be too obvious.

Its light value keeps full walls open. Ivory trim, brushed nickel, or pale wood can support the softness. In west light, the peach side will become easier to see.
