Our most-loved pink shades…

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 and our new confident pink Floss, explore our most-loved shades to find your perfect pink…

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 Parlour, Mushroom or Roman Plaster, for a neutral backdrop with beautiful softness and character.

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.

Create an alluring tonal scheme using a combination of pink-based neutrals from our Colour Scales palette. 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.

Discover ‘Mochi’

Mochi is one of the most-loved shades, introduced as part of 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.

Inviting dusky pinks

With their elegant charm, muted pinks are endlessly popular with designers and homeowners alike. Inviting, brownish pinks like ‘Flight Pink’ offer a simple way to achieve a soft, characterful backdrop in bedrooms, living spaces and dining rooms. These shades will instil an atmosphere that is both restful and sophisticated; relaxed and refined. Coordinate your chosen dusky pink with soft, warm-toned furnishings. Flight Pink pairs beautifully with related tonal shades from the Hammock family to create an encompassing feel.

Playful 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.

For a bolder statement, select a fun and confident pink like Floss or Hellebore. Warm and inviting, these hues combine a sense of light-hearted playfulness with the beauty and elegance of pink. Introduce them in bathrooms, studies or living rooms to invite joy into the scheme.

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.

Masquerade works equally well in a wallpaper scheme, where the addition of texture and pattern will create an elevated finish. Many of our wallpapers are available in a soft pink colourway based on Masquerade. These designs will combine easily with the Masquerade shades on the ceiling, woodwork and adjacent walls for a beautifully coordinated scheme. Or consider introducing contrasting paint colours to bring added personality and impact.

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.

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.
