The inspirational Journey collection from one of the top paint brands, Dulux, focuses on maximalist paint colors rooted in diverse cultures from all over the world, telling stories and sharing traditions. This selection encourages us to integrate the eclectic appeal, together with the bohemian allure, in our new design projects. Bright reds and lilacs stand out on this palette, and we invite you to rediscover pottery colors, starting with the rose clay tone Evening Blush by Dulux. 

Evening Blush Paint Color Features

Inspired by the blush color witnessed at sunset, this rich red paint color, rendering a rose clay shade, is one of the trendiest bold tones this season. Acting as a great background yet glowing solely as perfect, Evening Blush is a versatile paint color despite its bright role on the Dulux’s color palette. Slightly played down by a foggy gray drop of color, this balanced earthy shade knows everything about composure, comfort, and retreat. What’s more, we cannot help but notice its strong bond with nature and sustainability, which is impressively relevant in a world of eco solutions. Considering the trendiness of rustic interiors, no doubt, Evening Blush will find its way into contemporary design. 

Evening Blush: Is It Warm or Cold?

The description above should have given you the insight that Evening Blush is a warm paint color. Still, what do figures show? Undoubtedly, red prevails in the RGB value (red-green-blue concentration). That’s not only the result of Evening Blush representing the red color family. Red is also indicative of its temperature, which leans warm.

How Does Lighting Affect Evening Blush?

No wonder designers recommend using Evening Blush in north-facing rooms. It will bring a moderate feeling of warmth. In spaces with north-facing windows, you’ll witness a paler pink clay with generous blue-gray undertones – the result of the coolish, blue natural light. If you would like a considerably warm, peachy terracotta, we suggest using Evening Blush in a south-facing room. The orange undertone will resurface at sunrise in east-exposed rooms and at sunset in west-facing spaces when sun rays reach this paint directly. 

Be aware that Evening Blush is a medium paint color and will feel heavier at night. However, artificial lighting is a great way to preserve this color’s brightness.

One of Dulux’s best terracotta paint colors is a mid-tone rose clay shade. Gravitating between dark and light, somewhere in between, Evening Blush has a Light Reflectance Value of 37. Bouncing around 37% of the light it receives, this earthy shade feels pretty grounded and needs enough natural light. Otherwise, your space will feel enclosed. However, moody palettes are a thing now. 

Evening Blush Undertones

Evening Blush from Dulux is a substantially pale red shade with a terracotta fragrance. A mix of dusty rose and gray undertones blend with sweet peachy traces in this Mediterranean color.
