Cooing Doves

M234

Cooing Doves is a medium dusty rose with a muted mauve base. It is a real color, not a barely-there blush. A powder room, bedroom, or painted cabinet works when the palette needs softness with depth.

The color may look grayer in cool daylight and warmer under lamps. Pair with ivory trim, dark wood, or aged brass. Keep strong peach away unless a rosy layered room is the plan.
