Pale Powder

Pale Powder creates spa-worthy calm

Pale Powder is a whisper of aqua with a chalky bloom. It’s the colour designers use in bathrooms, dressing rooms, and restful bedrooms when pure white feels stark but blue walls seem risky. The gentle green undertone keeps it sophisticated, so it layers beautifully with marble, brass, and linen.

Pair it with Borrowed Light ceilings or Skylight cabinetry for a tonal scheme, then ground everything with pale oak, woven baskets, and matte black taps.

Dialling in dupes and finishes

Aqua tones shift quickly, so paint two coats on a large board and move it through daylight and lamplight. Pale Powder should stay soft and spa-like—if a sample turns minty or baby blue, keep looking. Moisture-resistant eggshell is ideal for bathrooms and kitchens; elsewhere, washable matt preserves the powdery finish.

When pairing with neutrals like Ammonite or Teresa’s Green, keep sheen levels consistent to maintain a seamless look.

Where Pale Powder shines

Use it on bathroom panelling, bedroom walls, utility rooms, or nursery ceilings for a gentle wash of colour. Style with rattan mirrors, gauzy curtains, and brushed brass hardware to keep the palette calm and elevated.
