What color is Dulux Waterlily Blush 1?

Dulux Waterlily Blush 1 30RR 12/281 is a deep, muted berry-toned shade with a noticeable red-violet cast. Its medium-dark value gives it presence on walls, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright or sugary. In daylight, this color can show more of its dusty raspberry character; under warm evening lighting, it is likely to appear richer and closer to plum. Use Waterlily Blush 1 for a dining room, bedroom feature wall, or painted cabinetry where a grounded red-purple adds depth. Pair it with warm off-whites, soft greige, charcoal, aged brass, walnut, or pale oak for contrast that does not compete with its color.
