Pink.... NotJust For Little Girls' Rooms

While pink is the most popular paint color for a little girls room, using pink elsewhere in a home can create a sexy and sophisticated space. If you don't have a lot of natural sunlight, a pink paint color can create warmth and elegance. Of course, there are many different shades of pink. It doesn't have to be bubble gum or pepto pink! You really need to study the colors and the underlying tones of the different shades as pink is a very difficult color to get right! However, when done right, the results are delicate, crystal-like, and gorgeous.

P Four recently designed a home using pink or "blush" as the accent color and we painted the powder room and one of the guest bedrooms pink. Some of the pink colors we considered were:

* Wild Aster by Benjamin Moore. It's subtle and sophisticated.
* Tutu by Martha Stewart. It's glamorous and would work well with lots of mirrors and chrome.
* Natural Berry by Ralph Lauren. It's muted, soft, and delicate.
Ultimately, we landed on Pink Viburnum by Sherwin Williams. It's soft, powdery, and feminine. Check out the results - glamorous, dazzling, and memorable.
