Tea Rose & Deep Berry — #E6C2BF + #A93450
There’s something about this pairing that feels like a memory.
Like rosy cheeks after a day in the sun. Like the soft clink of a glass of rosé. Like raspberry jam on warm toast at the kitchen bench.
This blush-toned pink (#E6C2BF) is soft, warm, and calming — like linen sheets that have seen a thousand naps. It’s the hue of comfort, nostalgia, femininity. Not in a cliché kind of way, but in a grounded, grown-up way. A colour that whispers, not shouts.
But when you pair it with its perfect match — a deep berry tone (#A93450) — something shifts.
The berry brings a little bite. A little boldness. It’s the sharp flick of lipstick on a quiet outfit. The red wine stain that becomes part of the night. It grounds the softness, gives it edge, and makes the whole palette feel confident, complete.
Why this pairing works
Soft pink can sometimes drift into “too delicate” territory. Berry alone can feel heavy. But together, they balance beautifully. They tell a layered story. They work for brands that want to feel romantic, but not fragile. Strong, but not stark.
And best of all? They translate gorgeously across applications.
Where we’ve seen it used and would use it
Packaging mockups — like the long matchbox above, where blush plays background and berry commands attention.
Product design — think the Lucy Stripe Planter from Pillow Talk: playful, tactile, design-led but totally approachable.
Brand palettes — for makers, slow-living brands, boutique wellness, modern floristry, handcrafted goods, lifestyle editorial.
This is a palette for brands that want to feel lived-in and loved. The kind of colours that make your audience feel something — even before they’ve read a word.
Try this if…
You love neutrals but want to introduce a touch of vibrance. You crave consistency across your product and brand experience. You want your visual identity to feel as thoughtful as your craft.
This pairing is proof that you don’t have to shout to stand out. You just need the right tone, the right balance, and a story that’s already yours.
Welcome to the muse.
