Can you help me identify this paint colour?

I saved this screenshot from an online article some years ago - apologies I can’t link or give credits.

I love the pink/buff colour on the walls. Struggling to find a close match. F&B setting plaster is too light, dead salmon too dark. The Valspar colour match tool comes up a burnt orange (Copper Patina), which I don’t think this is.

Can any of you lovely experts help me? My room is north facing with little natural light.

Blush - Little Greene?

Thank you @JackyinaTracky and @UltimateIrritant - I’m loving these colours. And thank you also to everyone else for your suggestions - you have saved me hours of painstaking googling. I’ve narrowed it down to FB Setting plaster or templeton pink, Sanderson Inkwood or LG Blush.

Light umber by Craig and Rose might work

You might want to have a play on encycolorpedia. Hours of fun comparing colours. Of course, they never look the same on screen to on the wall but it gives a general idea. You just have to ignore all the U.S. paint brands.

Ointment Pink F&B

With a N-facing room, any colour you choose will look very different to the way it would look on a colour chart, or a picture like that one, or in a room that got light from the S, W, or E. You need to find something on a colour chart that looks close and buy a match pot. Then work out which direction you need to go in from there. I wanted a dusky peachy pink, a sort of plaster colour, in a space lit with N light, and went through 3 different match pots and one complete repaint for the hall before I got what I wanted, and matching colours is literally my job. One sample that I had thought might be a bit too yellow actually looked green.... I had to go a lot warmer than I thought (In the end, I used 'Ballet Shoe' from Earthborn Claypaint- they do decent sized matchpots big enough for you to paint s decent sized patch on each wall - each wall will take the light differently in both natural and artificial light).

Thank you and yes, I will be colour testing and also have a lovely designer who will help me with colours. Just need to wait for plaster to dry and undercoat to be done.

@HouseInChaos , I’ve already spent too long on that website!
