@Kachina624 Your pink seems to be a somewhat dusty, muted pink, which I love.

Wouldn't be in my top ten list of home decorating colors, but I liked everything pictured.

After reading your post, I must sadly admit there isn't a trace of pink in my house!  I have decorated in primarily blues, whites and soft hues. 

 

The second and last pictures are particularly lovely. To be honest, I liked all the pinks even the bolder shades.

 

My den has a pretty wallpaper, mostly white with soft yellow, green and a small bit of rose. Hmmm, I must find at least a throw pillow in pink to add!

 

Thank you for posting this.

The walls in all the public areas of my home and one bedroom are pale pink that appears beigey pink at times depending on the light.  This is the third home I've owned where I've used this color.  Furthermore, my mom liked it so well, she had her interior painted the same color.  The color is Sherwin-Williams Petite Fours.  Two of my rooms have a mauve accent wall, the exact color if our Sandia Mountains at sunset.

 

I use mostly shades of turquoise as an accent color, including some painted furniture.  Have a lot of Indian art, pottery, Navajo rugs, paintings.

 

I'd post a sample of the color but the Sherwin-Williams site is down for "touch ups".


This sounds beautiful! And turquoise as an accent color seems perfect.

I have a hint of pale millennial pink in my bedroom that is predominantly shades & textures of off-white, but not in any other room. I'm somewhat timid to use the color as a neutral as is often suggested. My mom was definitely a pink person in accessories in her living room.

Not in this house.  I had a peach colored bedspread on our bed in the 80's, and my husband hated it.  It did not last long.

@gtx    Yes, it's very neutral.  Goes with everything.  Great color.

@RedTop    He'd probably LOVE pink walls.  That's the joy of living alone...you only have to please yourself.

I like pink and I like the rooms in the pictures.  I especially like the light pink walls, so much better than plain white or the over used beige.

 

I have never had a pink bathroom but I would like it.  I really liked those 1950's bathrooms with the pink and black.

Am not really a pink girl---but have to say the very pale pink walls speak to me--and splashes of pink call my name too. That rug in the last photo made me gasp, I love it so much!!!
