Dusk
Dusk is a light and lively shade of gray with soft purple undertones. Because the color is so understated, you can use it in just about any room in your home. This color looks fabulous in kids’ rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms paired with pink, lavender, or darker shades of gray. You can even use it in your office. When using it as an accent color, try incorporating it in your main living areas, such as your living room or sitting room. Pair it with subtle (or not so subtle) shades of pink, purple, and blue for a stunning, eye-catching effect. If you wish to use the bluer form of this shade, consider incorporating it in your master bedroom, bathrooms, or main living spaces. This form of dusk can make any space feel instantly warmer and lend an air of sophistication. It’s one of those colors that pairs well with just about every other color in the rainbow, quite possibly because it was modeled after warm sunsets over a desert horizon. Because it is typically considered a pastel, it looks great with other soft hues. Consider pairing it with shades of pink, purple and blue. It also looks fantastic with grays and white.
