Mauve (2229) is a warm pink shade - a versatile mid-tone for full walls or a single feature. Its warm undertone pairs best with warm whites and natural woods.

Best Rooms for Mauve

  • Living rooms: adds character while staying easy to live with.
  • Bedrooms and dressing rooms: soft, warm and flattering.
  • Studies and home offices: a steady tone that supports focus.
  • Accent walls: adds depth and definition on a single wall.
  • Dining rooms: an intimate, settled feel for mealtimes.

Colours That Pair With Mauve

Mauve slots into a wider scheme as a flexible base or accent. Reliable pairings:

  • Pale grey - a calm, modern pairing.
  • Muted sage or olive - a fresh, grounding accent.
  • Light oak and brass - warmth and a soft glow.

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

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Mauve 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.

Good to Know

Try a sample pot on more than one wall before deciding, as pink shades can look quite different in morning and evening light. A colour-tinted undercoat helps this mid-tone reach full depth in fewer coats.
