Tea Room

S150-2

Tea Room is a soft dusty coral with a warm red base. Place it in a powder bath, guest room, or dining nook when a muted pink wants more earth. Use warm ivory trim and dark wood nearby.

Warm lamps bring out the coral. Cool daylight can leave a more restrained impression. Use caution around bright white plastic finishes, which may leave the color feeling older than intended. The dusty red base suits old wood and unlacquered brass.

Tea Room in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
