What color is Dulux Waterlily Blush 2?

Dulux Waterlily Blush 2 30RR 23/270 is a mid-depth muted rose with a noticeable mauve cast, rather than a light pastel pink. Its softened red-purple character gives walls warmth while retaining enough greyed complexity to avoid looking sugary. In bright daylight, this color can show its dusty pink side, while lower or cooler light tends to bring forward the deeper berry-mauve notes. Use Waterlily Blush 2 in a bedroom, dining room, or small sitting area, or reserve it for painted cabinetry where its depth can stand out. Pair it with warm off-whites, soft putty neutrals, dark walnut, aged brass, and charcoal accents for a grounded finish.
