About Dutch Boy Pink Floss
Pink Floss is very light — LRV 77, close to white. It opens up small or dim rooms and keeps walls feeling airy. Its orange undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. In north light it can read slightly cooler; a warm white trim alongside keeps it from going clinical.
Pink Floss shines on ceilings, trim and in small or low-light rooms where you need to stretch the light — and as a calm whole-home backdrop. Greige-leaning neutrals like this are the safe whole-home choice when you want warmth without committing to a color.
