What color is Dulux Orchid Opera 1?

Dulux Orchid Opera 1 93RB 27/376 is a mid-tone mauve-pink with a clear violet cast and a gently muted finish. Its rosy base keeps it from reading as overly purple, while the blue-red undertone gives the color a cooler, more composed direction than a typical blush pink. In bright daylight, Orchid Opera 1 can appear cleaner and more floral; under warmer evening lighting, its dusty plum character becomes more noticeable. It suits a bedroom feature wall, a dressing area, or painted cabinetry where a fuller color is wanted without moving into a very dark shade. Pair it with soft off-whites, charcoal grey, pale oak, brushed brass, or deep berry accents for contrast.
