Help finding the right dusky pink paint colour

[Thefirsttime]

I am looking for a dusky pink paint for a north facing bedroom and would love some help in finding the right shade. Nothing I’ve looked at so far is quite right. I am looking for a pale greyish pink colour so something more pink than grey. Everything I’ve looked at is either too dark, too pale, too pink, too grey, too orangey or too beige.

My current forerunners are either F&B great white (but I think it’s too pale) or dulux trade jasmine blush.

I quite like the following, but they’re not right:
F&B peignoir- too dark and too grey/purple
F&B calamine- too pink and not enough grey
Dulux trade pale peony- too pink
Dulux trade Blush pink- too orange
Dulux trade blossom tree- too browny (or maybe it isn’t).
Dulux trade heritage powder colour- too brown and not enough grey.

F&B pink ground, setting plaster and cinder rose are not right either. They’re too pink, too brown and too dark respectively.

Inspired by the other thread about finding the right pink colour I’ve now looked at Graham and brown and like the colours bohemian and first date but I’ve so far only seen them on a screen rather than reality so they might not be right either.

Think I’ve looked into this too much and now nothing is right. Does any one have any other suggestions? It would be much appreciated if anyone can help.

It took me at least 18 months to find the right dusky pink for my living room. Turned out to be Crown Pashmina.

Sanderson has some lovely pinks. Sorry to give you another company!

Ah, but they’re the under the same parent company as zoffany so I’m already getting their colour chart with my zoffany one!

I have used Dulux Dusted Damson. They don’t sell it anymore however I think you can get it made up on the dulux paint mixing place. I use it with Mellow Mocha (dulux) a

How're you getting on? Have you chosen a colour? I'm also trying to decorate my dark, low natural light north facing study at the moment and want a pale, warmish pink. I'm going with a mid-century vibe and the walls need to complement a mustard yellow chair! Any recommendations would be awesome!

Hold the phone to the wall and impose the colours on it - obv need testers but gives an idea...

I came to say Crown Pashmina too.

It's lovely paint!

We painted my north facing study in a dusky blush pink in the spring. I believe the issue is the light. It's more blue when north facing and so off the peg pinks look either too brown or too purple/blue. I wanted a setting plaster kind of look for a mid century inspired room and ended up mixing Sanderson Rose Ash with Claybrook Kates Blushes and I think it works really well. I would be inclined to Mix two shades together and from experience you need quite a bit of yellow in it to make it work. I'll see if I can attach an image.

Here is the room.

Sorry I didn’t return to the thread sooner. I eventually chose a colour and painted the room! I went for dulux jasmine blush which is very similar (to my eyes) to little greene China clay light.

I totally agree with what @bangwhistle says- the light in a north facing room will really bring out the blue tones in the colour so you probably want something less grey and more pink than you think you want.

Also, in a north facing room especially a dark low natural light one you want a paler colour than you think you want.

The colour I’ve used looks far darker and greyer than the colour chart would suggest it will.

Other suggestions (if I’m not too late) are LG chemise, LG rusling, Sanderson sorilla or sea pink. I don’t have any zoffany recommendations as the never sent me a colour chart despite me requesting one twice.

It’s actually really interesting and surprising how much the light in the room changes the colour.
