The most important things about the colours rose & pink
Basically, the colour pink is always a mixture between red and white. Other pigments, which are added to a shade of pink, create a large colour scheme of pink nuances
Effect of pink colour
In our culture, pink stands for everything that is cute and sweet. It is the typical little girl colour for girls' clothes and the nursery. That wasn't always the case, by the way, because since the Renaissance pink has been considered the little red colour. And red stood for everything masculine. Pink was therefore a colour for boys. Pink is also popular in other parts of the world. In the Orient, for example, pink is still considered the colour of masculinity today.
In this country, the colour pink stands for everything feminine, tranquillity and romance, for compassion and care. In colour psychology, pink has two aspects: The white part of the colour symbolises purity and innocence, while the red stands for energy, passion and sensuality. In the case of pink, the aggressive aura of red tones is muted by the loving, gentle energy of white. Very strongly pigmented, gaudy variants are called pink.
Design rooms in pink
Pink is a great wall paint in all its nuances. The versatile palette of pink tones ranges from warm, powerful rosewood tones to delicate, light and soft floral colours, from subtle grey-pink tones to almost purple shimmering pale pink or bright pink.
If you add a few brown pigments, the result is a soft, warm rosé tone; if you use more, you get an earthy, present rosewood tone. If you add blue pigments to pink, you get a cool, fresh rose tone. Particularly sophisticated shades of pink can be achieved by adding grey pigments to a pink shade. This creates sophisticated colour shades that are not at all kitschy or feminine, but very subtle. It's not just women who like these shades of pink.
The colour pink always spreads a positive mood and a cheerful atmosphere in the room. Use it as a powerful accent on a wall or design an accent piece of furniture that catches everyone's eye. Perhaps use a powerful shade of pink for this?
You should avoid pink here
Basically, pink can be used in any room - the colour just sometimes arouses prejudices. So if you don't want it to look too pink, go for a pink mixed with grey. Even sceptics will be won over by this muted colour!
Alternatives to pink colour
A light apricot colour has a similarly friendly effect to shades of pink and can therefore be a good alternative for your home.
Colour pink: shades from dusky pink to pink
Pink is always a mixed colour between red and white. There are an infinite number of shades of pink, from soft pinkish white to a rich dark pink. This is why pink colour shades can create very different spatial effects
The palette is huge! Let's start with shades with a hint of pink, such as White with Powder from our Just paint Collection. This almost white colour shade is minimally tinted with a soft, reddish terracotta tone, which creates its subtle rosé hue. This shade is also known as powder pink
We move on to pastel shades of pink. These include Rose with Warmth or Rose with Peach Blossom. They have a high proportion of white, but the colours are already clearly perceived as pink. The beautiful Cuddly Rose from the CosyColours chalk paints is also very delicate and pastel
Dusky pink refers to light or strong shades of pink that have a brown or beige component. The colour shade Rose with Brown is a good example. All these colours are perceived as warm pinks. These shades are also called nude in a light version. A good example of such a nude shade is the very light chalk paint Harmony Rose from the CosyColours range
Dusty pink goes in a similar direction. These often very subtle colour shades are usually tinted with grey pigment and can therefore appear cooler and more "awake". These pink shades sometimes also contain a touch of violet, although the transitions are fluid. For example, the elegant, light Tender Rose, a chalk paint from the CosyColours range, has a strong grey component with a light touch of violet
The pink colour family also includes strong shades of pink. Some of these almost look like magenta. In fact, magenta is a really strong pink. Different shades are created depending on which pigments are added to it. Pink with Grey already carries its radiance in its name. Pink with Peony is a strong, warm pink with bluish pigments. An accent wall in pink wall paints is certainly an eye-catcher!
Pink colour and its effect
Pink is often seen as an exclusively feminine colour. However, pink is by no means just a colour for little girls. As a trendy colour, it has become a wax colour and is all the rage. In a room painted pink, you feel balanced and calm. It looks fresh and light, reduces aggression and can even lift your mood. You can also paint large walls in pink with a clear conscience and enjoy the light-heartedness of pink wall paint
Versatile: use pink in many rooms
As pink has a very broad colour scheme, this versatile wall paint is suitable for almost all living areas. Just let your ideas run wild! Its sleep-promoting properties and the relaxing effect of pink tones make it the ideal interior colour for the bedroom
Pink is also a good choice for children's rooms thanks to its calming effect. Apart from the fact that it is probably the most common colour of choice for little girls, babies also calm down well in a room painted pink
In the kitchen and living room, pink-painted walls can create a cosy atmosphere. Combine pink walls with grey-grey or black tones to create a sophisticated and mature character
Tips for the trend colour pink
Such a versatile colour can be used anywhere. Whether living room, bedroom, bathroom or kitchen - pink is an enrichment in any room
Coloured paints in pink have an attractive effect as accents, but can also be used over large areas. Go for varnishes in pink to set the scene for a built-in cupboard or your coffee table. The velvety colour of these coloured lacquers really stands out thanks to their silky matt look
Living styles and trends in shades of pink
Due to its versatility, pink can be integrated into various living styles, which is why it should be used more often
Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is a romantic living style, also known as cottage style. Here, pink finds a perfect setting with other pastel colours and lace fabrics, as well as playful accessories. Use additional elements in gold or silver to create elegance. Although this style is reminiscent of Rosamunde Pilcher stories, you can avoid a kitschy look with the right decorations. After all, pastel colours are known for their relaxing and gentle effect
If shabby chic has already made its way into your home, use a soft pink like Rose with Almond Blossom to create colourful accents between white and grey
Even in the complete opposite industrial chic style, a pink accent wall with Rose with Marshmallow skilfully sets off the industrial elements. If you paint a small area with pink wall paints, it will certainly attract everyone's attention as an accent.
The glamour style often combines pink as a strong pink tone with golden and velvety elements for a chic, eye-catching effect. Pink with Peony is a great colour shade with that certain something!
If you prefer a modern style, pink is the right colour for you. The trend colour pink can also be used to create perfect accents in a straightforward style. A clear, minimalist living style can be given an interesting addition with an intense wall paint in pink
Light, brownish shades of pink such as Rose with Cherry Blossom go perfectly with natural elements and materials such as wicker and rattan in a boho style
If you want to make an even bolder statement, use one of our red wall paints or varnishes instead
Combination colours for rose, pink & co
Combine grey and beige tones with pink if you want to achieve a harmonious and calm effect. Dark anthracite and black emphasise the soft effect of pink. If you like it pastel, you can choose from the entire colour scheme of pastel shades
In general, both strong and less intense colours go well with pink. If you want to emphasise pink, it is best to combine strong colours such as a bright blue. If you want to go for depth of colour, paint an accent wall in a strong, dark blue like our Blue with Ink and place a piece of furniture in front of it that you have painted with varnishes in pink. Choose a pastel pink colour to create the perfect combination
The complementary colour green also supports the luminosity of this expressive colour. Combine olive green with pink, for example, to achieve an extraordinary look. Then use a matt wood varnish in pink, as the matt varnish quality brings out the bright colour particularly impressively.
Pastel shades such as a soft yellow or green also soften pink. But avoid too many bright colour shades in a small space, otherwise you can quickly create a garish effect.

What is the difference between pink and rose?
Pink refers to very strongly pigmented colour shades with more red components. Pink usually also contains blue and grey colour components. Pink, on the other hand, is always more or less tinted with white. The best known of these is the delicate pastel pink. Pink and rose can both be mixed with grey, brown, orange or blue pigments. A warm pink colour can be achieved by adding a little brown pigment
Which colour looks warmer: pink or rose?
This depends on which pigments are added to a shade of pink. Pink often appears cooler due to blue colour components. However, there are also cool, light shades of pink.
How do you combine rose and pink?
Depending on the style of living, shades of pink can be combined in a variety of ways, from so-called achromatic colours such as black, white and grey to all shades that are contained as pigments in the respective pink.
If you like it playful and romantic, combine lace fabrics and floral prints with pink. Natural elements such as wood, linen or grasses are ideal if you have a boho style interior. If you prefer straight lines, combine pink with Grey and black or silver metal elements. Copper, gold and rose gold - used sparingly - look elegant with pink.
Is pink calmer than pink?
It is brighter, whether it looks calmer depends on the respective colour shades.
