Our colour of the month in April is Pink. The soft tones of pink we see in the apple blossoms during Spring evoke feelings of calm and a gentle soothing air. The many tones of this colour including Rose Pink and Blush through to Cerise have a varying affect. This is dependant on the individual’s response and the space that it is used in.
The softer shades of pink can be used in a room to create a harmonious peaceful space, through to the bolder shades adding excitement and a strong statement to your decor.
Pink Paints
If you are looking for a softer pink to bring warmth and intimacy into a room, Little Greene’s Chemise (139) is a subdued and delicate tone. Other paler shades include Pink Slip (220) and Dorchester Pink (213). If you are looking for a period colour, the Regency Light Peachblossom (3) once used in the Royal Pavillion in Brighton is a perfect choice .
The stronger shades include Little Green’s Blush (267), a muted rosy tone and Carmine (189), a 1960’s period colour. Also, the 1970’s period colour, Leather (191), would certainly be a vibrant and exciting choice.
Pink Wallpapers
Little Greene have created some stunning decorative wallpaper designs in this gorgeous colour. These include the National Trust Hencroft in Pink Primula and Wrest Trial in Pink Plaster. The Monroe wallpaper in Pink Flower is another fabulous example (See images below).
Clarke and Clarke also offer a wide selection of wallpapers. The Florettas Wallpaper in Blush/Charcoal and the Emma J Shipley Animalia Audubon Wallpaper and Animalia Kruger Wallpaper, both available in pink, are all beautiful choices (See images below).
