A 'grown up' pink paint?

I'm looking for a pink shade of paint to put in my dressing room. Probably only on one wall and paired with white (currently F&B All White). Might change it to Dulux Timeless.

But I don't want a sugary pastel pink or a deep pink. Trying to find one that's more powdery or muted? Rose maybe?

If that makes any sense to anyone, please can you suggest one?

Hoping it will be easier than when we were choosing a grey. 25 tester pots later...

I came to say what cakeandchoc said- it's lovely ☺️

We've had Hensley Cheriton Blush in our bedroom for a couple of months now - love it. Perfect, not-too-sugary dusky pink imo.

Dulux pink bunting is absolutely gorgeous. It's one of the mixed shades.
It's in my daughter's room with velvet truffle. Both soft sheen Matt emulsion.

It is v dusky and looks like melted Neapolitan ice cream, very subtle but beautifully feminine / soft.

Peignoir is lovely but it really isn't very pink. It's more of a taupe with pinky undertones IME. Calamine is gorgeous.

I've got a small room I need to decorate and was going to do the usual PWB. I've now got testers for Middleton Pink and Peignoir because of this thread. Grrr.

What did you choose in the end, Enid?

Because of this thread, I've tested Middleton Pink (definitely a pale pink but not dusky, quite cool); Peignoir (a pink-tinged taupe as a pp said - moving into the beige spectrum, I think) and Dorchester Pink which is mauve!. So, from assuming I'd just go PWB, I now in the never-ending tester buying cycle.

Wilco's does a lovely dusky pink called raspberry meld. The tester pots are between £1-£2 so not that expensive for the amount you get. I've used their paint for most of the rooms on my house and have been really impressed with have well it covers. Their 'Best superior' range is particularly nice :)

DD1s bedroom has been painted in F&B Calamine this week, the room isn't quite finished but this shows the colour, it is a lovely shade (we tried lots!). I would have it in my room.

That's funny GD, that's the one I think I'm going for after all. Still not overtly pink, more a pinkier taupe on my sample.

@pinkpyjamasallday I’d love to see a photo or two of your DDs peignoir room if at all possible please? Huge thanks!
