Paper Heart

M210-2

Paper Heart is a pale peach-pink with a warm paperlike softness. This color can flatter a bedroom, vanity corner, or powder bath without becoming a strong pink. Its high brightness keeps it light, though sunset and warm bulbs may pull the peach forward.

Finish it with soft cream casing and white oak. Black frames can add needed definition. Blue-white trim heightens the blush.
