When colorful interiors regained popularity, the first colors that were reintroduced were green and blue – the safest, most timeless colors on the color wheel. But now that we’re years into the resurgence of color, the intrigue for more venturesome hues has risen. Blush and mauve have taken over in the most elegant, cheerful, and sophisticated way. Who knew a color with pink undertones could be so versatile?
With a deep love for these hues, I’m sharing 8 blush and mauve paint colors along with real-life examples that will inevitably have you saying, “Which room can I paint next?”
Muddy blushes with brown undertones are a wonderful way to infuse a touch of pink without looking too feminine. The richness of the color is enhanced with olive green, pale blue, yellow, and gold.
Undertones play a big role in how blush and mauve read. Sometimes it can lean pink or purple; other times it has strong brown or peach tones. All wonderful options for the right room.
If a room enveloped in mauve feels too intimidating, curtains and bed linens are a more subtle way to utilize this color. Blush and mauve accents look best against green, blue, and yellow.
