How to wear pink

A pink piece goes with jeans or gray, white or navy pants. For a grown-up look, pair it with camel or charcoal. For shoes, nude, white and gray are safe. Gold or silver accessories add shine.

Pink in home decor

Soft pink walls create warm spaces, not just kids' rooms. Pair it with gray, sage green, wood and gold details. A navy or green sofa gives it weight. For textiles, mix pink with white and beige for a soft Scandinavian style.

Pink in graphic and web design

Light pink is a friendly background for beauty, bakery or kids' brands. It has little contrast with white; use dark gray, wine or navy text on it.

What to avoid

Avoid pairing it with intense red or bright orange without a neutral, because pink looks dull. With too many other pastels it can look childish.
