Wall paint - Tailor Tack No. 302

About Tailor Tack No. 302

Tailor Tack is a light pink tone that takes its name from the basting thread used in haute couture ateliers. Combined with flea market finds or industrial-style accents, the color fits just as well in period properties as it does in modern settings. When used on the ceiling, it brings a touch of color to the room in a sophisticated way.

Color Impact & Light

Tailor Tack flatters the room with warm, earthy softness and a hint of sunset. Due to its high pigmentation, the shade changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combine Like the Pros

The official complementary white for Tailor Tack is Wimborne White, ideal for ceilings, mouldings, and adjoining surfaces. Color schemes recommended by Farrow & Ball: Wimborne White & All White · Pale Powder & Skimming Stone · Setting Plaster & Pink Ground.
