Paint Color: Smoked Trout by Farrow & Ball
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.
