Chrysanthemum

This shade reads as a dusty pink with a clear brown undertone, so it feels warm and steady rather than sugary. Its #CB9480 value gives it enough depth to hold its own on a wall, while still lifting a room gently instead of making it feel heavy. In north-facing light it can appear more muted and clay-like, with the pinks settling back and the warmth becoming more subdued. In south-facing rooms it comes forward more clearly, showing its peachy pink character and taking on a softer glow. It sits well beside natural oak, dark walnut, cream paintwork, and patterned upholstery in muted greens, browns, and faded reds.

Chrysanthemum suits sitting rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a warm, restful wall colour is wanted. It works well with painted woodwork in soft cream or deeper timber tones, and with upholstery in linen, velvet, or patterned fabrics that carry sage, rust, or taupe.
