Pink, like red, is moving in two directions. It can be warmer with tones of coral, watermelon, and delicate shell pink. On the cooler side, pink hints of dusty lilac and heather.
Recent comments about the trend of pink:
One of our favorite style trends this season is a dusty pink dubbed “blush” by interior designer Barbra Barry. “Blush evokes lightness and air,” says the designer. “I’ve fallen in love with it as the new neutral- with a twist.” -Home magazine (Sept. 2006)
“We’re still showing pinks, but they are getting dustier, almost going to old-fashioned.” -Britt Bivens of Promostyl
“Fashionable and fun, the pinks of this year range from hues of deep fuchsia, to frosted berry, to sweet, candy pink.” -Behr Premium Plus Color Trend Report
“The color you need to know now…shell pink…Rather than feeling saccharine and childish, shell pink is a sophisticated version that both men and women can appreciate. It’s more subtle than pure pink, with coral undertones and a luminescent feel…” -Southern Accents magazine (Sept/Oct 2006)
“Pink is no longer an ‘it’ color but rather a new staple. Last year rose gold began to rise in popularity and this season, rose gold watches are coming into their own. And pink is not just for the ladies.” -JewelryInformationCenter.org
