Nautilus Shell

Nautilus Shell is a pinkish peach with soft orange and warm pink undertones that keep it grounded in the blush family without reading overtly coral. With an LRV of 74.41, it reflects a high amount of light, making it functional in rooms with limited natural exposure. The color carries a faint yellow base that prevents it from skewing too cool.

It pairs naturally with the warm neutral Bennington Gray HC-82, the deeper terracotta tone of Bali 702, the clean backdrop of Mountain Peak White OC-121, and the crispness of Oxford White 869 for trim work.

Nautilus Shell 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.
