Alyssum

SW 6589

Alyssum (SW, #F2D5D7) is a light, soft pink with red undertones that produce a gentle warmth without reading overtly saturated. With an LRV of 71, it reflects a considerable amount of light, resulting in a bright, airy presence on walls. The hue stays in a muted, blush-adjacent range and does not shift dramatically under different light sources.

Pairing it with Alabaster or Creamy creates a warm, low-contrast scheme. Deeper tones like Dovetail or Naval anchor the palette and heighten the pink's visibility, while a muted purple such as Soulmate extends it along analogous lines.
