Pastel Pink Colors

Pastel Pink appears in nurseries, bedrooms, powder rooms, and painted ceilings where a hard white would feel cold. It is pink diluted with plenty of white and sometimes gray, so it reads softer than clear light pink.

Using pastel pink in your home

Pastel pink works best when the room has texture: linen, unlacquered brass, painted wood, or matte tile. North light can make gray pinks look cooler. South light warms them into a blush. Pair with creamy trim, mushroom, sage, soft black, or pale oak. The warning is cleanliness. If the pink is too gray beside bright white trim, it may look dirty instead of soft. Glowing Mist is the quiet end of this family.
