Dear Diana,

My quest for Martha's Pink Sky has ended with a Valspar color, Apricot Ice. Everyone's eyes and lighting differ, but Apricot Ice is in the ballpark.

The Valspar samples, the new ones in clear oval pots, were awful. I could paint better with milk of magnesia.

I have to say that I don't understand why anyone would make a secret of a paint color. If someone asks for one of mine, I give her the information and a paint chip. Considering that my idol Martha is in the business of giving decorating advice and identified all the paints in "Decorating with Color," I am particularly baffled. I would think she could sell Pink Sky by the super-tanker.

Thank you for your help and suggestions!

Yours sincerely,
Corinne

P. S. I can't figure out how to shift to italics on this iPad. That's why the book title is in quotation marks.

Hi,
Thank you SO much for following up! Just looked at the Valspart Apricot Ice color, and from my computer, it looks pretty perfect.

If you'd like to purchase a match of that color, with Benjamin Moore paint, here is the link: http://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/color/88734_Valspar-2001-2C-Apricot-Ice

Please feel free to post a photo once you've finished your paint project. I'd love to see it.

Thanks,
Diana


Martha's Pink Sky

Can you identify the color on the walls of the Pink Sky room in the Natural Pallettes on th MS website--http://www.marthastewart.com/274412/natural-palette/@center/276988/painting-ideas-and-projects#/203700

Hi,
That's a great question. I've done some research on the rooms in the Maine guest house, in which Martha painted every room (including the trim,) in that ethereal blush/pink paint color. There is no info available as to which color she used in the home.

Here are a few Martha Stewart pinks paints colors to sample, that could give you a similar look:

I hope this is helpful,
