Dimity is named after the lightweight cotton fabric originally used to make ladies’ bustles, but which is now more commonly used for bedding. Dimity is a pale taupe with a subtle red base. It has a great amount of warmth and depth, making for instantly welcoming hallways and living rooms. When paired with Pointing, it seems to take on a pinkier tone, while combining it with darker Oxford Stone creates a more aged look.
