Blush

A pale that carries real personality rather than disappearing. Blush is soft, flesh-warm — a high-end paint shade with a warm undertone you can feel across the room and clear peach-cream undertones. We see Blush specified most often for principal bedrooms and ensuites. It softens against warm whites, oak, linen, and aged brass. The lineage is 1930s boudoir, but the way it sits on a wall is unmistakably current.

FAQs about Blush

Questions clients ask about this shade

Does Blush hold up in north-facing rooms?+

Yes — Blush carries enough warm pigment that it doesn't go flat or grey in cool daylight. The peach-cream undertone is what stops it bleaching out.

What sheen options come in Blush?+

Blush is tinted into your choice of dead-matt, soft eggshell or low-sheen satin. For rooms with high handling — hallways, kitchens — we'd usually recommend eggshell.

What does Blush pair with from your range?+

We most often pair Blush with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, pairs with warm whites, blush textiles and burnished brass.
