The sun came out in the UK for what felt like the first time all year, so naturally, I’ve officially started my countdown to spring. Did this sunshine also influence Livingetc’s March color crush? Most likely. P\u00eache Parfait is orange’s more delicate, elegant, and playful cousin, and it’s the perfect inspiration for your spring decorating plans.<\/p>\n

Okay, P\u00eache Parfait as a spring color palette<\/a> might not be the most out-there take, but there is a warmth and naturalness to it that makes it a standout compared with other pastels. “Perched between red and yellow on the color wheel (slightly closer to red than true orange), it’s tempered with white, and sometimes has a hint of pink for a little rosiness,” explains Livingetc’s color expert, Amy Moorea Wong. “Like the summery fruit it shares its name with, it feels soft, emanates warmth, and exudes a hazy, gentle mellowness.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s a far cry from February’s color crush, Obsidian Heart<\/a>, but hey, what is good interior design without a bit of balance and surprise? There is so much inspiration to be found here, so if you’re looking for something to brighten these increasingly warm days, here’s everything you need to know about P\u00eache Parfait.<\/p>\n

What Color Is P\u00eache Parfait?<\/p>\n

As explained by Amy Moorea Wong<\/a>, P\u00eache Parfait sits somewhere between red and yellow <\/a>(with white undertones, as is the case with pastels), which makes it an easy addition to any warm color scheme<\/a>. It’s radiant, but soft.<\/p>\n

“P\u00eache Parfait’s pale but radiant tone makes it feel young, jovial, free-spirited, and spritely,” she adds, “while its pushed back, powdery, gauzy-ness lends it refinement, poise, and grace, so it reads as considered and finely balanced.”<\/p>\n

Peach tones have a reputation for being a bright, pastel variation to decorating with pink<\/a>, but there is more nuance to it than that \u2014 and no, it’s not the same as pink. P\u00eache Parfait is closer to terracotta and brighter versions of plaster, making it a more neutral (read: easier) shade to introduce into an interior.<\/p>\n

“In the home, P\u00eache Parfait almost glows with soft sunlight and with a velvety, fruit-like finish,” says Amy. “It brings in the sun, making walls hum with subtle energy, and can work both as an attention-pulling statement hue or as an almost-neutral organic backdrop thanks to its links to nature.”<\/p>\n

As peach can technically be categorized as a natural color, it has a chameleon-like ability to work with a range of hues. So don’t be fooled, there are plenty of colors that go with peach<\/a>, or P\u00eache Parfait, to be specific.<\/p>\n

Virtually any shade of green will play nicely with P\u00eache Parfait (remember red and green are complementary colors). “Try moss or olive for something more muted, or apple green for a bit of a kick,” suggests Amy.<\/p>\n

Would you dare to pair P\u00eache Parfait with January’s Sour Lime<\/a>? Now that’s an electrifying combination.<\/p>\n

If you want something a little calmer, try a tonal color combination. “Rose and blush pinks add layers to P\u00eache Parfait’s pretty softness,” says Amy. With tonal color drenches<\/a>, you can play with creating a room immersed in the warmth of peach. “Or for something bolder, teal brings illumination, and saffron injects some vibrant spice,” Amy adds.<\/p>\n

With P\u00eache Parfait, you’ve got options when it comes to decorating. Whether this shade is inspiring you to grab a paint<\/a> brush and coat the walls or to start with a simple table lamp or decorative vase, P\u00eache Parfait is inoffensive in the best kind of way. It’s a fabulous color to incorporate into your spring refresh, and here are a few P\u00eache Parfait-inspired pieces to do just that.<\/p>\n

Decorating with color<\/a> doesn’t always have to mean electrifying blues and dauntingly deep burgundies (although these are fabulous too). P\u00eache Parfait is gentle on the eyes, but still warm and cheery.<\/p>\n
