Using rose quartz in your home
Use Rose Quartz where softness needs a little gray: a bedroom, bath vanity, ceiling, or quiet reading room. North light can make Lilac and Dusty Fern references feel more lavender. South light warms the pink and makes the color less mineral. Pair it with warm white, mushroom, pewter, plum, or pale oak. Do not judge it beside a yellow cream alone. That contrast can make the violet undertone look stronger than it will in the room.
