The aesthetic hue of April

09 Apr 2026

The latest colour alert from Color Marketing Group (CMG) has been announced for April. Cherish is a wonderfully warm shade of serene pink and peach, and is the perfect contrast to these colder days rolling in.

Cherish is a word used to describe things held dear, and this low-chroma, softly frosted peachy-pink radiates the warmth of meaningful connections and nurtures feelings of love, compassion and togetherness.

In home interiors, this softened tone invites quiet reminiscence, of the delicate Autumn morning, a family garden dotted with sun-bleached terracotta pots, and the muted blush of floral bouquets on home shelves. Cherish pairs beautifully with deep greens and rich browns, introducing a grounded, natural dimension to spaces.

There are plenty of Resene paints and wallpapers in similar shades that you can use to add this colour into your home, here’s some you can try:
