Pink is definitely the star in this room. Featured sofa is Cynthia Rowley’s 6000CR Coco Daybed
The beautiful Audrey Hepburn once stated that she believes in pink. There is a reason why this color excites and has an attitude that is solely its own. First, it is a contradictory hue. The meaning that it evokes depends on what context and culture it is being presented. This can be mainly feminine in many cultures although it can also be bold and frank the next. In Japan, however, pink is a masculine color (yes it is).
Pink Is Love
Just like the color red, well, knowing that pink is a mixture of red and white, it is being linked to love. Red is more passionate while pink is tender and innocent. This color focuses more on intimacy, thoughtfulness and being careful with each other’s feelings.
Pink also represents nurture and familiar love.
Does Pink Excite or Calm the Nerves?
Pink can evoke both these feelings in humans. Again, depending on the level of intensity in which it is presented, pink can be aggressive (just like red) or it can be vulnerable and calm just as in old rose or carnation pink.
What’s the chief color that dominates nurseries for baby girls?
Pink.
Pink is often linked to innocence and childhood sweetness. It can even border naïve at times, if not vulnerable. But there is also a reason why pink is quoted when it comes to optimism – seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses means the person is overly positive.
Various Levels of Pink
The stronger shades of pink such as fuchsia often represent energy and confidence. Which is why we are no longer surprised why brighter shades of pink are often used in manufacturing girls’ toys.

Is Pink Positive or Negative?
Both.
Pink has many positive associations as it can be a non-threatening color. It represents hope, innocence as well as optimism in the best of times.
The downside to pink is that it can be downright silly especially when it is not used properly. It can also be considered shallow when it won’t anchor or fuse with any other design element inside a room.
‘Time to Use Pink
‘Still have no idea what shade of pink you should use in your home? The color might have excited you in
Roses are a great source of invaluable study when it comes to the relaxing shade of pink. If you take a closer look at this kind of flower, you will notice that it also comes with other bright colors such as yellow and orange. If the flower can get away with this look, then a room or two in your home could also have this color combination.
Other complementary colors are green, black and white.
Why green?
Remember the rose yet again. The pink rose pops out on its fresh green stem and leaves – no look can be sweeter.
As for black and white, these two can take pink and make it more elegant and controlled.
Pink: The Supporting Cast
Your palette does not have to be mainly pink. It can play a supporting role to the main players which are chocolate brown or shades of gray.
A whisper of pink evokes romance when splashed on walls. Call this your dessert palette where pink is as soft as it can possibly go.
Pink: The Hero of the Show
Pink can also be the star of the whole ensemble. This is the case with the more confident shades of pink such as lavender-leaning tints, fuchsia, and deep-pink. Use the bolder pinks as the main color palette or as accents that will surely catch people’s attention.
