Blush: A Color Story

0 Flares Filament.io 0 Flares ×

If fire engine red screams Valentine’s Day, blush whispers it sweetly.

It’s a romantic yet subtle shade, as lovely on walls as it is on flowers. Although it’s a more traditional choice for this holiday than last year’s black and white, they look fabulous together. Blush is also great with deep blues or teal-y greens.

Like the illustrations, destinations, and DIYs in this post, blush doesn’t even have to be about Valentine’s Day at all.

  1. This is beautiful! I love blush and think it is the most romantic color. It’s so Victorian, and reminds me of a bunch of dahlias tied up with ribbon.
