Rose Clay

Rose Clay sits in our High-end Paint range with the kind of warmth that makes evenings feel right, undertones of terracotta-pink, and a character that's muted and dusty. Pairs with warm whites, blush textiles and burnished brass. The natural home for Rose Clay is principal bedrooms — and increasingly living rooms with mixed daylight. Light without being clinical — it keeps a quiet sense of warmth. The lineage is Mediterranean, but the way it sits on a wall is unmistakably current.
