The Analysis
Ruffled Parasol is a mid-tone coral-pink that acts as a light-reflector, making rooms feel significantly brighter and more open. With an LRV of 67.7, it bounces plenty of light back into the space without being blinding, helping small rooms feel less cramped.
This is best used as a feature wall or in secondary spaces like a laundry room, entryway, or powder room. While it can work as a full-room color in a sun-drenched space, it acts as a bold backdrop that draws significant attention.
LRV 68History & Origin
This leans into a modern, playful aesthetic rather than a traditional or period-specific look. It is a fresh take on mid-century color palettes, ditching dusty vintage tones for something more vibrant and saturated.
How to Use It
Pair this with light oak or white-washed wood to keep the look breezy, or use matte black hardware to ground the pink and prevent the space from feeling too juvenile. It works exceptionally well in kitchens or mudrooms where you want a clean but high-energy finish.
The Mood
This color is distinctly energizing and warm, making it a great choice for areas where you want to feel active and awake. It is far from a neutral, so it brings a consistent, upbeat atmosphere to your daily routine rather than a restful or sleepy vibe.
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.
