Whether you’re a seasoned interior designer or a homeowner looking for inspiration, Plascon Paint Expert’s thoughtfully curated colour palette offers the perfect hues to reflect the vibrancy and serenity of spring.
The Power of Pastels in Spring
Spring is synonymous with blooming flowers and refreshing breezes, which translate beautifully into soft, pastel shades. These hues are perfect for achieving a timeless yet refreshing update to any room.

2. Muslin Tint (Y6-A2-2)
Neutral Sophistication Muslin Tint, a tan neutral with subtle yellow undertones, offers understated sophistication. Its versatility makes it ideal for use as a base colour throughout your home, perfect for living spaces and kitchens that need a soft, earthy touch. Pair it with natural textures like wood and linen for a grounded look.

Refreshing Coolness Inspired by the sea, Surf’s Surprise is a soothing pastel teal that brings a cool, refreshing energy to your interiors.
