Wild Geranium

PPG1045-6

Wild Geranium is a muted mauve rose with a brown-violet undertone. The floral name softens it. On walls, it behaves more grown-up than bright pink and can suit a powder room, dressing space, or painted furniture piece.

The color will look dustier beside cool gray, so keep nearby neutrals warm and clean. Dark wood gives it substance. Cream trim flatters the rosy side without turning the palette sugary.
