  • Brass and gold - lifts the warmth.

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Dusky Pink deepens under warm light and afternoon sun, while north light keeps it even.

Finish: Matte in living rooms and bedrooms for a soft, premium feel; washable satin in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Paint

Paint a sample on two or three walls first, since red tones shift with the light through the day. A colour-tinted undercoat helps this mid-tone reach full depth in fewer coats.
