Touch Of Class

MQ1-47

Touch Of Class is a muted mauve-brown, almost a dusty rose taupe. The red is quiet. It suits a dressing area, bedroom, or powder room where beige feels too plain and pink feels too sweet.

Warm light makes the rose side more apparent, so sample beside wood floors and blush textiles. Pair it with soft black or antique mirror. Cooler gray trim can drain the color and leave it looking dull.
