Mulberry Technical Profile
What color is Mulberry? It's a deep warm pink with the hex code #C045A1. Mulberry has a warm (pink) undertone, which affects how it pairs with trim, flooring, and adjacent wall colors. With an LRV of 22, Mulberry creates a dramatic, enveloping mood — best on accent walls, dining rooms, and intimate spaces where atmosphere matters more than reflected light. Pair it with warm whites like Simply White, blonde wood floors, and brass or gold hardware. Deep green or forest accents add contrast that keeps it from feeling too sweet. Under 2700K warm bulbs pinks and magentas glow warmly, leaning coral. Under 4000K cool light they read more vibrant — important for nursery and bedroom planning where bulb choice changes the mood.
