Colours That Pair With Malted Milk

  • Light oak and brass - warmth and a soft glow.
  • Pale grey - a calm, modern pairing.

Carry one of these into adjoining rooms to keep the whole home feeling cohesive.

Lighting & Finish

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

Practical Tips

Try a sample pot on more than one wall before deciding, as pink shades can look quite different in morning and evening light. Two thin coats give the most even result; save some paint for touch-ups in high-traffic spots.
