Valspar

Twice Shy

V079-4

Twice Shy is a muted rose with a clay-pink base, stronger than a blush but softer than coral. It needs restraint. Try it in a powder room, on a vanity, or behind a bed with simple bedding.

The color deepens under warm lamps and can look brownish beside cool gray. Pair with cream trim, aged brass, or warm stone. A large sample will tell the truth quickly.
