Pearl
The kind of off-white that stops a room feeling clinical. The natural home for Pearl is guest bedrooms with softer light — and increasingly living rooms with mixed daylight. It plays well with oak, brass, linen, brushed nickel and unpolished plaster. In the High-end Paint range, Pearl reads as softly reflective, built on sitting cleanly between warm and cool and oyster pigment. Borrows its character from transitional interiors and re-reads them in a modern context.

Questions clients ask about this shade
Does Pearl hold up in north-facing rooms?+
Yes — Pearl carries enough tonal weight that it doesn't go flat or grey in cool daylight. The oyster undertone is what stops it bleaching out.
What sheen options come in Pearl?+
Pearl 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.

We most often pair Pearl with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, it plays well with oak, brass, linen, brushed nickel and unpolished plaster.
