Paint & Paper Library - Temple (238)

Temple 238 is a warm, brown-tinged pink that feels both elegant and softly vintage. The shade is inspired by the soft rosy hues found in Famille Rose porcelain, giving it a rich yet muted character that’s less pastel and more grounded.

In interiors, Temple 238 brings a soft, inviting warmth that adds personality without overwhelming. Designers suggest using it on walls or panelling to introduce interest, especially in more compact spaces. Because of its muted sophistication, it pairs beautifully with metallic accents (especially gold) and works with both traditional and contemporary décors.

Temple is a refined, delicate colour — one that delivers the warmth of pink without being too sugary, and the grounding depth of brown without feeling heavy. It’s a versatile shade for anyone looking to create a calm, elegant space with a hint of heritage charm.
