Pearl Color

HEX color code is #F5EBDA and the RGB is 245, 235, 218

Pearl interiors in homes create a sense of urbane organic calm when used with Maroon and cream colors. Pearl’s pale neutral base makes it ideal for use as a foundation color in almost all outfits and design situations. Pearl has a subtle elegance to it that speaks of classic refinement and poise.

How the color is made: Pearl is created by mixing White with Very Soft Orange so that it has a subdued warm texture.

History: Pearl is a color associated with purity, truth, and virtue. In Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus” the female figure to the right of Venus (Hora of Spring) who is clothed in a Pearl-colored dress with floral insignia, is holding out a robe to the goddess to clothe her in virtue.

Color in Action

Whether as a fluffy oversized knitted sweater or a streamlined ankle-length coat, Pearl is a color that oozes refinement and class. Its classic appeal means it is a favorite fashion piece in each season. Pearl-colored dresses can look great in Summer when worn with sandals or in Winter when worn in full wool suits.
Add a sense of intrigue to a Pearl interior by mixing in different wood types and shades to create warmth and comfort. Deep Brick Red works fantastically with Pearl to tone down its starkness.
