Why Choose Pink?

Pink colour schemes are impressively versatile, ranging from bright and bold to soft, nearly neutral shades. The one thing they all have in common? They’re always warm, playful and irresistibly charming. Cottage, townhouse, apartment or even houseboat, pink colour schemes always add a little character.

Our Signature Pink Paint Colours

Our Signature palette is packed with pinks. A true pink, Nancy's Blushes is cheerful and uplifting. It works wonderfully in living rooms and kitchens, especially when paired with greens and blues. In contrast, soft Scallop has such a gentle pink tone that it’s nearly neutral, making it perfect for pared-back palettes where you just want a hint of warmth.

We carefully craft our pinks with subtle undertones to create depth, character and complexity.

How to Create a Pink Colour Scheme

Choosing colours is half the joy — and half the challenge — of decorating. With such beautiful shades to choose from, it can be tricky to narrow them down.

To make pink the centre of attention, you could pair it with a white — our complementary whites are always a wonderful starting point. The contrast helps to make even the subtlest of pinks stand out. Or you could take the opposite approach and minimise contrast. Layer several pinks together for a tonal scheme that feels effortlessly relaxed and inviting.

We’ve asked our experts Joa Studholme and Patrick O’Donnell for three of their favourite pink colour scheme suggestions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best pink paint colour?

Once relegated to nurseries and children’s rooms, pink is now one of the most popular paint colours. So, choosing the best shade from this versatile family is easier said than done. It all depends on your personal preference and what feel you want to create in a space. From soft blush to vibrant fuchsia, there's a pink for every taste and mood.

What colour goes best with pink paint?

Wonderfully versatile, you can pair pink with nearly every colour to create a beautiful array of looks. Pink and navy is a classic combination, while the once-shunned pairing of pink and red is finally getting the love it deserves. For a calming, contemporary look, opt for pink and green, or for something a little more playful, try experimenting with yellow or purple.

What effect does pink paint have on a room?

The red undertone of pink paint means it brings a cosy and inviting warmth to a room. Earthy and blush pinks add a soft, relaxing mood while bolder shades, like Rangwali and Shallot, create vibrant, joyful spaces sure to bring a smile to your face.

Should I paint my whole room pink?

If you’d like to, of course! Whether you choose a soft, sugary shade, a more neutral tone or a bold hue, colour drenching a room in pink creates an inviting, warm feel. The only thing to consider is which shade to choose based on your light, furnishings and taste, so be sure to try a sample before you pick.

How can I choose the right shade of pink?

To choose the right shade of pink for your project, start by deciding what mood you want the room to have. It can help to think about how you want to use it. For example, you may want a different feel in a kitchen to a bedroom. A lighter shade will create an open, airy feel, while a deeper hue will feel protective and restful. Once you’ve got an idea, sample a few shades to find your favourite.

How do I make sure I get the best finish with pink paint?

Getting the best finish is less to do with your technique, and more to do with your preparation and products. Cleaning, preparing and priming your surface makes sure that the paint adheres to it properly and creates rich, even colour. So, always use Primer & Undercoat. Using quality paint and tools also makes it much easier to achieve a flawless finish.
