Unicorn Horn is a light, very muted pale rose-beige. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.
