What color is Blush?
Blush is a soft, warm pink with a rosy undertone, hex #DE5D83, close to the color of a peony petal. It is deeper and more saturated than pale pink, with enough red in it to give it a flushed, lived-in warmth.
What is the meaning of the color Blush?
English first recorded blush as a color name in the late 16th century, drawn from the natural reddening of fair skin. The color gained commercial footing in the 19th century as textile dyers produced soft rose-pink fabrics for women’s dress, particularly in France and England. Revlon solidified the name in the beauty industry by using blush as a product category for powder cheek color in the mid-20th century, connecting the shade directly to its skin-tone origin.
