Green and pink: how to pair them

Green and pink are almost complementary, since pink is a light red and red is the opposite of green. That is why they contrast and lift each other. They also bring to mind flowers and leaves, so they look natural.

Tips for pairing them

Pick one as the lead: dark green as the base with pink accents is very elegant. Soft shades like sage and dusty pink create a calm space. In fashion, a pink dress with a green bag, or a green sweater with light pink pants, are easy wins. At home, a green wall with pink pillows works really well.

Contrast between them: 2.1:1. Don’t put text in one color on the other: it’s hard to read.
