Doric Pink

1008-3C

Doric Pink is a medium muted rose with a warm red base. The red base matters. Doric Pink feels architectural rather than sweet.

Doric Pink works in dining rooms, powder rooms, and painted furniture when blush needs more strength. In bright daylight, it can show a clearer pink face. Ivory, walnut, or aged brass keep the color grounded. Judge Doric Pink after the primer color has been covered.

Doric Pink in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
