Pink fits to warm the room


Pink has a welcoming warmth in the home and it’s not a demanding shade like the red though it’s related.

Pink is more usually associated with feminine color schemes but its potential is too great to restrict to the boudoii. Pink is not just for bedrooms and bathrooms.

Its use is more general than you may realize: pink makes an appearance in magnolia (the second most popular paint shade after white), in fawn, and in some shades of peach and apricot.

Let it come out of the closet and into the hall, the living room or the kitchen – pink is too versatile a color to be shut away upstairs.

The natural contrast to pink is green and not blue (although it does have a close affinity to green; the two are ideal companions in many color schemes. We can see in the lawn, the pink flowers with green leaves.

Other popular partners of pink are lilac, yellow, and the neutrals brown and grey. As pinks vary from those with a blue tinge to those with yellow, it’s important to choose co-ordinates which have a similar emphasis unless you have an expert eye for color.
