Fit For A Fling

In this #E9C6B4 shade, Fit For A Fling reads as a softened pink-apricot, with enough warmth to feel friendly and enough mutedness to keep it from looking bright. On walls it reflects light lightly rather than strongly, so it lifts a space without washing out its colour. In a north-facing room it will read a touch calmer and more beige-pink, while in south-facing light the peach in it comes forward and the shade feels warmer and fuller. It sits comfortably beside pale oak, walnut, brushed brass and chalky off-whites, and it also gives a good backdrop to upholstered pieces in sage, tobacco, indigo or deep plum.

It suits bedrooms, sitting rooms and dressing rooms where a warm, considered pink is wanted without fuss. Pair it with painted woodwork in off-white or deeper rose tones, and with upholstery in linen neutrals, moss green or rich brown velvet.
