Pretty In Pink: Our Spotlight On Pink Paint Colors
Why are there so many trending pink paint colors this year? Isn’t pink just for retro bathrooms and little girls' bedrooms?
We get it. You don’t want your home to look like a Pepto Bismol™ commercial. But if you give it a chance, you’ll learn that pink is much more than it seems. Don’t forget that pink is much more than the bubble gum pink that comes to mind.
In fact, the whole pink color family is extremely versatile, so don’t be surprised if you find one you absolutely love. Keep reading to learn more about why you should think pink paint colors this year.
Why Pink?
At first, you might be reluctant to “think pink.” Very few people dream of living the Barbie™ life. But again, pink is more than that particular shade. It’s one of the most popular colors this year for a reason. Let’s talk about why.
Pink Is Less Intense Than Red
Pink is a toned-down version of a very drastic color. Red is intense and can be overstimulating or too bright. Pink is softer and much less overwhelming. Also, pink is much more dynamic than red, able to blend with a wider variety of colors.
All Pink Shades Feel Warm & Cozy
Because it’s part of the red family, all shades of pink carry that warm and cozy vibe, even the almost white blush pinks. Pink is soft and warm like a fleece blanket, but it's not suffocating as many red shades can be.
Every Shade Says Something Different
Each shade of pink brings its own tone to the room and creates a different atmosphere. For example, light pinks are fresh, light, and happy. But darker pinks are dramatic, refined, and passionate.
Where Pink Looks Best
You may think pink looks best in a little girl's bedroom or nursery, but it goes far beyond that. Many pink paint colors are also worthy of the living room or kitchen. Pink can also give you a creative spark as a home office color.
A good pink can be the splash of color you’re looking for, depending on your decor and what you accent it with. One thing about pinks is that they always look good with other pinks, reds, and even neutrals like off-white and beige.
