Gipsy Bloom 2

Dulux

The Analysis

Gipsy Bloom 2 is a mid-tone, muted terracotta-pink that absorbs light rather than reflecting it, creating a cozy, enclosed atmosphere. With an LRV of 25.13, it will make a room feel smaller and more intimate, so use it carefully in small, windowless spaces to avoid them feeling claustrophobic.

This colour is best used as a feature wall or for 'color drenching'—where you paint the walls, trim, and doors the same shade—to create a unified, cocooning effect. It is too heavy to function as a neutral backdrop for a whole-house scheme.

LRV 25

History & Origin

It leans into a modern, earthy aesthetic rather than a strict historical period. While it shares tones with Victorian-era paints, its desaturated, matte quality feels fresh and contemporary.

How to Use It

It excels in bedrooms or living rooms paired with walnut or oak wood tones to play up the warmth. Pair it with matte black hardware for a sharp, modern contrast or aged brass for a softer, more traditional look.

The Mood

Living with this shade feels warm and grounding without being overly stimulating. It provides a settled, stable energy that works well in spaces designed for relaxing or dining rather than high-productivity work zones.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
