Dupes for Scallop

Scallop is a soft salmon with a refined, powdery warmth
Scallop takes the charm of Dead Salmon and lightens it into a gentle, shell-inspired pink that reads grown-up rather than sugary. It is calm in daylight, cosy in lamplight, and particularly flattering in rooms that need a hint of warmth without turning peachy.
Pair it with chalky whites like White Tie or stone neutrals like Setting Plaster to keep the palette soft, or sharpen the contrast with Railings on trim.
Where Scallop works best
- Bedrooms and dressing rooms that need warmth without sweetness.
- West-facing living rooms where late light amplifies depth.
- Ceilings in small rooms for a cocooned, gentle glow.
Finish guide
| Surface | Best finish | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Walls | Matt or durable matt | Keeps the powdery softness and avoids glare. |
| Woodwork | Eggshell | Adds subtle definition without looking shiny. |
| Ceilings | Flat matt | Maintains the calm, cloud-like effect. |
Pairing ideas
For tonal layering, add Pink Ground or Setting Plaster nearby, and balance with natural linen, pale oak, and warm brass.
