This is a light, very muted pink with a soft greyed, slightly lilac cast rather than a clear or bright blush tone. The visible undertone is subtle and best described as a relative cool blue-violet bias within the pink family, not a strong or fixed feature. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its pink warmth, while cool daylight may make the faint lilac-grey side more noticeable.
