Marzipan

Color Inspiration
Written By Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint Team

Let’s chat about May’s MMSMP Color of the Month. It’s our warm neutral, Marzipan! 

 
 

Like the sugary confectionery treat, Marzipan is a warm and creamy shade of almond. This beige is definitely NOT boring! Pair it with Schloss for a warm Scandinavian feel. 

 
 

Marzipan is available in our new 100% natural, eco-friendly formula.

 
 

So how do you finish your painted pieces? Marzipan changes colors from raw (no finish) to applying finishes. To see how this neutral changes with each finish, take a peek at this photo:

 
 

Marzipan and the European Collection

Marzipan is a part of the European Color Collection. It pairs well with the collection's colors, Arabesque, Bergere, Layla’s Mint, Mora, and Schloss.

 
 

Now let’s look at a few pieces painted in Marzipan!

The Perfect Neutral

Want a neutral that will match everything but has more color than one of our whites? Marzipan is the perfect choice. It's a cooler alternative to Linen and warmer than Grain Sack. This dresser was refinished by Thirteen Hundred North. Marzipan looks stunning paired with the raw wood top and matte black hardware on this piece. 

 
 

Pair with Wood Tones

Marzipan looks beautiful paired with wood tones. Try leaving elements of a piece raw wood, like the drawers and tops of this dresser refinished by Thirteen Hundred North. 

 
 

What about on a mid-mod piece? We love Marzipan on this mid century modern piece by Thirteen Hundred North. The fluted drawer and gold hardware paired with the wood drawer and Marzipan creates the perfect mid-mod look on this piece!

 
 

How about a piece with more character? Check out this Victorian piece by Reinvented Delaware. Marzipan highlights the detailed drawer fronts and mirror on this piece.
