Jump on Pinterest and you'll be inundated with Millennial pink — a dusty pastel colour that's been compared to a mix of salmon and grapefruit — on everything from garbage cans to books. It's the latest proof that we've fallen in love with pink all over again. And it's for more than just décor accessories — from neutrals to bold hues, here's how to bring it onto to your walls.
This dusky pink is sophisticated, but still playful. It’s perfect for a living room, or even a front door. Cinder Rose, Farrow & Ball.
A light, pretty pink with a sophisticated edge (thanks to a touch of grey). Could work anywhere from a nursery to an adult’s bedroom. Calamine, Farrow & Ball.
Without feeling too sugary, but still very pink, this warm shade is great for a bedroom, living room or even an entryway. Pale Petal, Benjamin Moore.
The greatest thing about this pick? It’s basically a beige, with a hint of pink, so it’s a great neutral if you’re not into bright hues. Unfussy Beige, Sherwin-Williams.
If jumping on to trend bandwagons is your thing, this vibrant pink is for you. It’s bright and bold, and would look great in a small powder room paired with gold accessories. Sweet Taffy, Benjamin Moore.
From Chatelaine’s own Everyday Extraordinary Colour Collection, this pastel pink pairs incredibly well with greys and other neutral colours. Rose Petal Macaroon, Home Hardware.

This pastel colour is considered a warm white and we love it because it provides just a delicate hit of pink. Sugarcane Pink, Valspar Paint.
