Sulking Room Pink has stratospherically zoomed into orbit around the planet of my best EVAH paint names. Sulking Room Pink!!! If there was ever a colour I'd want a room to be painted in at that certain lady-time of the month then Sulking Room Pink would be it....

Farrow and Ball say...

Sulking Room Pink is a romantic and muted rose; its powdery feel makes it incredibly soft. Not to be seen as overtly pink, but rather a muted rose with enormous warmth: its powdery feel makes it incredibly soft and easy to use with complementary tones. Sulking Room Pink is evocative of the colours so often used in boudoirs, a room named after the French "bouder" - to sulk.

Modern Country Style says....

Farrow and Ball have really launched a game-changer pink here. Please note that Sulking Room Pink is not a soft, chalky pink. See how it picks up intensity in the corners, showing its browner and bluer roots? This is NOT the blush pink you've been looking for....BUT it does work magnificently if you think of it as Blush's older sister! Or a deeper, more mysterious cousin perhaps? And definitely cooler too. With tonnes of white and a smattering of an accent colour, this could be a fantastic Modern Country pink paint!

But what does Farrow and Ball's Sulking Room Pink really look like?

Granted, the above image is only after one coat, but you can see its deeper brown hues shine through clearly.

On furniture, Sulking Room Pink comes up beautifully:

In terms of colour schemes, you can go very contemporary with Farrow and Ball's Sulking Room Pink paint, as showcased here:

Or you can go full country gorgeous, like this suggestion from the beautiful Forge Interiors:

But my favourite suggestion is this, a perfect blend of Modern and Country....

How gorgeous is this starting point for a  beautiful Modern Country colour scheme by Rooms With A View?

Yes, sireeee, Farrow and Ball Sulking Room Pink is slotting right into my portfolio as A Colour To Use.... but what about the other new paints for 2018?
