Pink Ginger

PPU2-08

Pink Ginger is a muted clay pink with a warm beige orange base. The ginger name fits. It can make a sitting room, guest bedroom, or cabinet color feel earthy instead of sweet.

On the wall, it reads closer to terracotta blush than clean pink. Try cream trim, rattan, or bronze. Skip cool blue whites when softness is the goal.
