Orchid Blush

8004-4A

Orchid Blush is a light warm gray built around a faint pink-beige undertone, despite the floral name. It feels barely rosy. This shade can work in bedrooms or quiet halls where taupe feels too brown.

Soft white trim keeps this transition soft. Brushed brass brings out the blush. Cool blue-gray flooring may make the pink cast clearer, so compare samples at floor level.
