Cat Nose

8001-9B

Cat Nose is a light dusty pink with a warm coral beige base. The color can flatter a vanity area, bedroom, or small bath without going bubblegum. It needs simple company.

Ivory trim, cane, and pale oak will keep it soft. Cool gray tile may pull the pink forward in a less natural way. On large walls, expect the blush to spread more than the chip implies, especially in rooms with bright reflected light.
