Mermaid Cheeks

P042

Mermaid Cheeks is a light coral-peach with a clean, warm glow. It is playful. A small bath, vanity niche, or cheerful bedroom can carry it.

On larger walls, the coral becomes more noticeable than the chip may suggest. Ivory trim and pale rattan keep it soft. Cool gray floors will sharpen the peach edge. Sample beside tile before using it around a bathtub or shower surround.

Mermaid Cheeks 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.
