Spring Blossoms

56%LRV Value
Save

Spring Blossoms works as a confident anchor color — best in rooms that can carry visual weight (dining rooms, libraries, accent walls) rather than as a whole-room palette. At LRV 56 it sits in the comfortable mid-light range — bright enough for living areas, soft enough for bedrooms, and adaptable across most lighting conditions. Skip it where you want a calm, restful feel — red raises visual energy, so it fights bedrooms and small home offices.

Spring Blossoms Technical Profile

What color is Dutch Boy Spring Blossoms (302-3DB)? It's a light warm red — hex #DDBDC1, LRV 56. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Spring Blossoms is Sherwin-Williams Fading Rose — a near-identical match on the wall, with Vista Paint Andrea’s Anticipation and Vista Paint Odyssey Plum also close. At LRV 56, Spring Blossoms sits in the comfortable mid-light range — bright enough for living areas yet soft enough for bedrooms, and adaptable across most lighting conditions. Pair it with creamy off-whites like Alabaster for trim, walnut or cherry hardwoods, and brass hardware — the warmth keeps reds from feeling clinical. Deep forest green or navy work as bold accent walls. At mid saturation, this color sits at a flexible mid-point — bold enough to anchor a room without dominating, and pairs cleanly with both crisp and creamy whites. Reds intensify under 2700K-3000K warm bulbs, deepening into wine territory. Under 4000K+ cool LEDs they can read pinker or slightly washed — sample under your actual room lighting before committing. At mid saturation the lighting shift is moderate but real — sample under both warm-bulb evening light and cool-daylight morning light before committing.
