Audrey's Blush
At first glance, Audrey's Blush belongs to the red family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. Its midtone saturation balances color with restraint, so the hue can register without overwhelming nearby finishes. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
