The Many Shades Of Pink

For many expecting parents, selecting the right colors is the hardest part of decorating the nursery. There are so many fabulous choices on the market now that narrowing it down may feel a bit overwhelming. One trend you can be sure will never go out of style is the love of pink for little girls. The pink palette has expanded over the years, and now we are seeing tons of different shades and tones that are all perfectly pink with their own unique flare.

Of course, there is the traditional baby pink. This sweet look will always be a classic. As hard as I tried not to, I couldn’t resist using this look in my own daughter’s nursery.

Next we have what I like to call watermelon pink. Bright and bold, this pink hue works very well with a lime or yellow accent. I adore it here in New Arrivals’ Pink Taffy Set.

Raspberry pink, like the nursery seen here by Liz Carroll, is my favorite pink of the season. This bright color gives an extra punch to any room and is perfectly balanced with a softer color like grey, pale pink or robin’s egg blue.

A peachy pink, matched with a pale beige, gives a very elegant and soft look. This is my sister’s nursery done in Nava’s Whisper Pink.

Picking the right pink paint color can be tricky — not too bubble gum, not too white. I am loving Farrow and Ball’s Middleton Pink or Benjamin Moore’s Wild Aster Pink seen in this blog post by Making It Lovely.
