Parlour™: Cotton Candy, a hushed rose with antique softness.

Cotton Candy is a warm dusty pink, the shade of faded rose petals pressed between book pages and the worn lining of a vintage silk purse. It sits between blush and mauve, with enough grey behind the pigment to keep it grown up rather than saccharine. Think raspberry coulis softened by sunlight, or the pearled inside of a conch shell.

Morning light pulls the warmth forward and the walls read softly flushed. By afternoon the tone cools into a quieter, smokier pink; under lamplight and candles in the evening it deepens towards mulled wine and worn velvet.

It suits bedrooms, drawing rooms, and cloakrooms that want charm without clamour, and sits happily beside warm off-whites like Knuckles Linen, deep greens such as Knuckles Forester, aged oak, and unlacquered brass.

Crafted the Knuckles way. A water-based, low-VOC, high-coverage interior emulsion, hand-mixed in small batches in the UK with rich pigment loading. The finish is a silky matt that reads deeply and without glare.

Coverage is around twelve square metres per litre, and we recommend two coats for an even, saturated wall. Order an A6 sample to try it on your walls before committing to a tin.
