Champagne Pink

A wash of red undertone over a mostly-light base, which is a harder balance to hit than it sounds. Champagne Pink is Valspar's 2004-4C.

Light reflectance measures 80.0, which is enough to keep a room bright without bouncing light around. Chroma 9.7 sits in a comfortable middle: present enough to notice, restrained enough to live with.

The red undertone leans into warm light rather than fighting it, so this is a forgiving choice under standard incandescent or warm-LED bulbs. A dependable choice where a room gets good natural light and a pure white would feel sterile. For a secondary wall, Dunn-Edwards Distant Horizon gives a natural step up in brightness without feeling like a mismatch (roughly 12.7 LRV points apart).

Behr Cloud Pink (180A-1) matches it closely enough that no one will tell them apart on a wall. Matte or low-sheen suits it on walls; higher gloss will exaggerate the undertone.

It is lighter than 94 percent of the Valspar range. It is one of the quietest oranges in the catalog, which is why it reads as a neutral on a large wall. Valspar lists it in the 2000 series, alongside 269 other colors.
