Our truest pink
This true pink is named after the scrumptious rosy cheeks of a much loved young girl called Nancy. The uplifting shade of Nancy’s Blushes certainly grabs your attention when paired with a bright white, but can create quietly charming interiors when contrasted with a soft neutral in shady rooms. Something altogether more graphic happens when counterbalanced with St Giles Blue.

the pink that makes other pinks look bleek
one of the guest rooms was pink, but i wanted to repaint that as the pink was not quite right. the local vendor in Finland had a sample, but larger quantities where not available in stock "as no one dared to paint their rooms that pink in Finland". after two layers of Nancy's Blushes on my wall, the first bedroom in Finland with this color was born.
it is hard to describe the color in one or two words as the feeling and the sentiment of the color depends so much on the lighting. at times it is like something out of a children's fairy tale, but at other's it feels like something out of Downington Abbey. dark and rainy day absorbs the life out from the paint, but sunshine makes it truly come alive. the color loves contrasts and hence white floor gives it a summery feeling, where as a darker floor would make it even more regal than it is.
like other Farrow and Ball paints, it is easy to work with, but i recommend two layers of undercoating to get the best out of the final finish. do not judge the color out a small sample as it needs a large area to come alive and dont take it as "too pink" or "candy" based on a small sample as it is not. it is simply the pink that puts an end to other pinks.

A playful, energetic pink!
I was torn between this and Crimson Red for my work room, but I’m so glad I went this way. This colour is a lovely companion to woody tones, and garden greens. It would be easy to dismiss it as only suitable for a child’s bedroom, but as someone who writes, sews and makes things in her office at the age of 43, I’m finding this an uplifting and energising colour.
