Ideas for Pink Color Palette to Use In Your Home Design

When it comes to using pink in interior design, people quite often refuse to use this color despite loving it. Why is that? Well, one reason is that pink is traditionally considered to be a “girlish” color that represents naivety and youth.

This is why it is often associated with young teenage girls, candy, and childhood, making this color less popular among the adult audience that prefers calm and mature colors instead (e.g., beiges, neutrals, etc.).

Another reason is that people often don’t know how to pair pink with other colors correctly. This is mostly because pink is a complex color that consists of white and red. Depending on the amount of white used, the final shade of pink may vary from more pronounced (e.g., a rose pink) to lighter colors like baby pink.

Finally, folks often don’t realize how varied pink is! This color comes in so many shades that you can easily pick the one (or more than one!) to use in your home. Below, we have prepared several pink color palettes to check out. With their help, you will get inspired and surely find the shade of pink you like!
