About this colour

At #945E5C, Ashes of Roses reads as a warm, dusty red with a soft pink undertone and a little earthy brown in it, which keeps it calm on a wall. It absorbs more light than it reflects, so it feels cocooning rather than cheerful, and the colour deepens slightly as the room dims. In a north-facing room it can turn cooler and moodier, bringing out the muted mauve side of the shade. In south-facing light it warms up and shows more of its rose and brick notes, especially beside natural oak, dark timber, linen-coloured upholstery, or aged brass.

How to use it

This works well in a sitting room, dining room, or bedroom where you want colour with restraint. It sits neatly beside walnut, painted woodwork in warm off-whites, and upholstery in oatmeal, taupe, olive, or faded floral tones.

A muted red-pink like this gives a wall depth without feeling bold.
