Our most-loved pink shades…

February 8th, 2024
Little Greene

Pink is a colour with enduring appeal, featuring in interior decoration from the Regency Period to the present day. The Little Greene palette presents an array of versatile pink shades, with something for every room, mood and style.

From our soft plaster-pink, Mochi, to the alluring powder-like Masquerade, explore our most-loved shades to find your perfect pink…

Wall: Mushroom, Splash Back: Pompeian Ash, Kitchen Units: Flint

Timeless pink-based neutrals

Neutrals that contain a touch of pink will bring inviting warmth to your scheme, combining easily with your chosen fabrics and furnishings. Choose shades with subtle, earthy pink undertones, such as Mushroom and Roman Plaster, for a neutral backdrop with beautiful softness and character. 

Ceiling: Loft White, Upper Wall: Re:mix Light Beauvais, Lower Wall: Re:mix Tracery II

Or consider a neutral with warm undertones like Light Beauvais to provide a fresh and relaxing atmosphere alongside the complementary grey-green, Tracery II. This combination works well for an inspiring study space or an uplifting bedroom scheme.

Ceiling & Cornicing: Ferdinand, Upper Wall: Castell Pink, Lower Wall: Arras, Skirting and Shutters: Nether Red

You can create an alluring tonal scheme using a combination of pink-based neutrals from our Stone collection. Ferdinand, Castell Pink and Nether Red are all neutrals based on natural red ochre. These gentle, earthy hues offer inherent warmth and have a truly timeless quality. 

Wall: Mochi, Ceiling: Shirting

Discover ‘Mochi’ 

Mochi is one of the most-loved shades from our ‘Sweet Treats’ capsule collection. Reminiscent of a natural plaster shade, Mochi will act as a soft neutral base for a pared-back neutral scheme, or for introducing bolder tones. It works beautifully when embraced across all walls to bring enveloping warmth to any interior setting, from a multi-functional living space, to a restful bedroom, or an inspiring home study.

Walls – Spilt Pink, Skirting & architrave – Attic II, Ceiling – Roman Plaster

Inviting dusky pinks 

With their elegant charm, muted pinks are endlessly popular with designers and homeowners alike. They offer a simple way to achieve a soft, characterful backdrop in bedrooms, living spaces and bathrooms, for an atmosphere that is both restful and sophisticated; relaxed and refined.

Walls: Nether Red, Drawers & Door: French Grey – Dark

Coordinate your chosen dusky pink with soft warm grey furnishings, and create an encompassing feel with related tonal shades on the ceiling and trim.

Wall: Pink Slip, Woodwork & Cornicing: China Clay

Light pinks

Light pastel pinks are often associated with nurseries or children’s rooms, but these are also beautiful shades to incorporate into your wider living space. Try to select pinks that contain red ochre rather than violet, as this will provide a less sweet and sugary tone.

Ceiling: Julie’s Dream, Left Wall: Masquerade – Mid, Right Wall: Masquerade, Panelling: Masquerade – Light

Using ‘Masquerade’ 

With a delicate, powder-like hue, Masquerade is a light pink with earthy undertones, which enable it to sit comfortably in almost any interior setting. It works beautifully as an alternative to neutral to add a touch of romance to your living space. By pairing with the coordinating Colour Scales on the ceiling and woodwork, you will achieve a serene, harmonious atmosphere. 

Poppy Trail – Masquerade (c.1890–1900), Ceiling: Masquerade, Panelling: Yellow-Pink, Dado: Yellow-Pink

Masquerade works equally well in a wallpaper scheme, where the addition of texture and pattern will create an elevated finish. 

Walls: Invisible Green, Chairs: Leather, Shelves: Cool Arbour

Bold pink accents 

For something a little bolder, consider bold magenta pinks such as Leather and Mischief. These strong and vibrant hues make excellent accent colours to achieve a contemporary focal point.

Cornicing: Slaked Lime, Highlight Stripe: Leather, Wall: Pea Green, Skirting and Panelling: Obsidian Green

Create a statement piece of furniture to contrast with deep green walls in Invisible Green, or use Leather to provide a surprising highlight stripe that will enhance an otherwise tonal green scheme.
