No but it looks awful. 80s time warp. What look are you trying to go for I'm sure there are better colours.

MrsNT · 27/08/2023 22:28

Have you seen the shade..it says soft peach but it looks more creamish yellow

I have it in my daughter's room, We love it. We have light teal curtains to go with it. Much better than the grey everyone else is loving so much now ;)! I'll take a picture in a moment.

Yes, I think it was 1989 and I hated it then!

OrganicAlchemy · 28/08/2023 10:03

Ive just painted my nursery in it without finding many photos online. It is really hard to get it to show up accurately on a photo, I will try and take a photo when Ive cleaned some stuff out! I really like it but get a tester if you're unsure :)

I can't get the imagine of the peach toilet roll holder doll and the peach bath mats ppl had back in the 90s to accompany this colour bathroom walls.

Peach decor takes me back in time... is it actually back in fashion now?

Potaytoe5 · 28/08/2023 11:57

@MrsNT I'd say it's a very pale, pastel peach. I honestly love it, I think it's very light and fresh.
Then again I have my whole house in a mix of pale pastels, white and pale grey (that one too haha)!
Get a tester and try it out on a few walls

I had it in a dark cottage about 20 years ago, it really reflected the light and made the room much brighter.

Get the dulux app and you can take a photo to try the colour on your wall. I done it in my living room, took the risk, bought the colour with a tester poit and went off the app. It's turned out perfect ☺️

It was one of the colours we were going to use in our living room. It's actually really nice. We decided to go a completely different direction but I would consider it again. It reflected light, in our living room rely nicely

Just to mention about the delux app, it can be out of date and has retired colours or colours you can only get from dulux paint centres. So if you find a colour it may not be widely available.

Pixiedust1234 · 28/08/2023 12:28

I have it in my front room and also the bathroom. Have had it for many many years and i just refresh it every now and then. It's a colour that seems to mature and get darker over time to a more peachy colour and less looking like peachy plaster. It's also good for making a room seem brighter whilst retaining the warming tones. So many brighter colours have cooling undertones imo. I can't take pictures as it reflects the light too much and doesn't come across as true, sorry.

lurchermummy · 28/08/2023 12:37

Looks like Magnolia and reminds me of rental houses, sorry.

caringcarer · 28/08/2023 12:47

I like it, it's not too orangy, it looks soft and muted. For years and years I have stuck to timeless but later this year I'm going to be adventurous and pick a bright turquoise wallpaper for inglenook wall.
