The 23 Best Colors to Pair With Every Shade of Pink
From edgy and modern palettes to sweet and classic schemes.
Pink is one of our favorite colors to decorate with, but we'll also be the first to admit that it's not always the easiest color to mix and match with. If you're wondering what on earth goes with pink, we're here to make it a little easier for you. While most shades of pink can accommodate, flatter, accentuate, or play down pretty much any color scheme depending on how you style it, there are definitely some colors and styles that pair with it best. Whether you're hoping to integrate pink into a modern, minimalist, traditional, edgy, or contemporary space, and go all out with paint or just want to add an accent piece, the 23 examples of pink room color combinations ahead will lead the way to a chicer home.
Pale Gray, Gold, Black, and White
What colors go with pink, you ask? Well, it depends on the shade of pink, of course. A fiery pink velvet sofa anchors in this family den designed by Zoe Feldman and pairs well with super-light gray walls (whit might be too stark), which works well with the gray floor rug. Cowhide ottomans bring just the right dose of funk and match the side table and lamp duo as well as the black and white figure drawings.
Charcoal and Dark Brown
Here's another room that proves the power of a pink and gray pairing. In this interpretation, designer Elizabeth Cooper opted for an earthier charcoal gray and a cooler Fuschia tone. The result is slightly more formal and pensive.
Honeycomb and Chocolate
In this charming nook designed by Lisa Tharp, the soft pink folding screen adds subtle dimension and depth. The pink throw pillows and seat cushion piping feature a slightly more vibrant shade of pink, and the warm brown tablecloth and honey-hued chairs bring out the warmth of the wood ceilings.
Marine Blue, Gold, and Light Wood
In this living room designed by Cecilia Casagrande, a pink butterfly Hunt Slonem painting pops against the Hague blue paint color. A dramatic sconce and antique lamp and dresser add a contrasting more serious tone.
Light Orange, Cream, and Wood
This jewel box of a bathroom designed by Heidi Caillier is a master class not only in experimenting with color combinations but also in tile variation. Think black tiles separate the floor and lower wall from the top half so that the light pink zellige tiles stand apart from the orange mosaic ones.
Lime Green and Light Brown
Lime green leather, blue and white stripes, and multiple animal motifs (fawn carpeting, a tiger print pillow and ottoman, and monkey figurines belaying up the wall!), work together to make this study designed by Philip Thomas a fun feast for the eyes. The glossy pink wall color really sets the foundation, but it also falls into the background.
Chartreuse, Blond Wood, and Kelly Green
Atelier ND extended this unique shade of chartreuse paint, a custom blend by IJM Studio for Carice van Houten, up to the ceiling in a small home office. The adjacent hallway is painted in a pastel dusty rose hue, which speaks to the ceiling lamp and blond wood flooring.
Deep Blue, Dark Wood, and Plum
Muted shades of pink are a surprising match for the deep blue accents in this new york city apartment designed by Katie Ridder. The rich contrast between the colors is further accentuated by the antique chest-turned-vanity.
Mairgold and White
In this eclectic bedroom by Raji RM, the tall ceilings, crisp white paint, and long sheers accentuate the height of the space, while all the other furniture was kept super low for a grounding effect. A framed sepia artwork, a wood side table, and a marigold pillow introduce warmth, while the magenta throw blanket is a fun surprise.
Orange
Pink zellige floor tiles and a marble vanity with swirls of pink are even further emboldened by the tropical orange cabinets in this small bathroom designed by ETC.etera.
Eggplant
A dark eggplant tone will pair beautifully with lavender, lilac, and bubblegum pink. In this bedroom designed by Corey Damen Jenkins, the patterned wallpaper and antique rug feature tons of different shades of purple and pink, for a cohesive yet endlessly dynamic space.
Greige
Designer Jae Joo opted for a soft, transitional palette in this 1885 Boston living room. The light pink armchairs add some playful buoyancy to the dark wood pieces while also bringing out the warmer tones in the versatile neutral backdrop. This is the perfect blueprint to follow if you're looking for a way to decorate with pink that still feels timeless, polished, and somewhat formal.
Marigold and Sapphire and Sky Blue
This sitting room by Katie Ridder proves just how much opposites attract. The hot pink paint color paired with sapphire blue artwork and a sky blue sofa create a jewel-toned effect. Add in another gemstone shade like citrine for maximum impact.
Lavender and Brass
Can't decide between your two favorite colors? You don't have to. Pops of lilac and lavender look romantic and stylish mixed with pink. Designer Kureck Jones opted for bubblegum pink subway tiles on the wall and the diamond, almost leaf-like motif on the floors of this bathroom. The brass industrial-style fixtures and lighting add just enough contrast and the pop of pale purple paint is the cherry on top.
Black, White, and Biege
In this living room designed by NicoleHollis, an ultra pale pink velvet sofa feels decidedly grown-up and understated paired with moody black artwork, a marble mantel, and a low-to-the-ground coffee table while the casual rug makes the space feel warm and inviting.
Chocolate Brown and Gold Leaf
Lipstick pink might not be the most obvious of wall color choices, but in this 19th-century Brooklyn townhouse, it's a total showstopper. Designer Jonathan Berger, who used Benjamin Moore's Razzle Daz, played up the historic glamour with a Louis XV chair and table and an 18th-century Italian mirror. Pairing pink with brown grounds the over-the-top energy of pink without overshadowing it.
Dark Teal, Gray, and Jute
Tone down the sweetness of pink with a deep navy blue or dark teal. It'll keep things from feeling too frilly and light. In this coastal home designed by Arent & Pyke, the blush pink linens go beautifully with the steel gray and navy accents.
Lemon Yellow
Can you imagine a more sunny, cheerful space? Didn't think so. This bedroom by Anna Spiro Design is about as energizing as bedrooms get, thanks to the playful bubblegum painted walls and lemon yellow accents, like the table lamp base and artwork.
Baby Blue, Navy, and Cream
The staples in this contemporary living room by interior design Bunny Williams and Ferguson & Shamamian Architects are strictly neutral, from the crisp white paint to the cream seating and coffee table. This works with the existing exposed brick rather than clashing with it and allows for new color schemes to come and go with accent pieces over the years. To spice up the color scheme, they added hot pink (a fun warm color to speak to the brick wall beyond) and baby blue for a cool touch.
Sage, Perriwinkle, and Bright White
Blue and white aren't the only colors that work like magic in a beach house. This coastal escape designed by Tamsin Johnson Interiors is dominated by pink and white, and asserts its sense of place via some beachy materials, like rattan and jute.
