Choosing the right shade of pink paint can be difficult, so we’ve rounded up 16 shades of the best pale pink paint colours to help you choose the right one.
The right shade of pink can make a space feel sophisticated and feminine or youthful and fresh, but no matter what feeling you hope to evoke, choosing the right shade of pink paint for your space can be overwhelming.
There are so many different shades of pink paint available, narrowing it down can feel like a daunting task. And it’s important to remember paint colours can change based on the size of the room, the time of day, and the natural light available. That’s why it’s so important to test a handful of colours before painting an entire space. It saves so much time and trouble in the long run.
When we transitioned our oldest daughter from her nursery into a bedroom, we painted her room a beautiful shade of pink, it’s subtle but still fun and youthful for a little girl’s bedroom. In fact, we loved the colour so much that we ended up using it again in our youngest daughter’s bedroom too.
Before we settled on this perfect shade of pink we tested a lot of different colours, so we thought we would share some of the best pale pink paint colours we found, in hopes that it helps you choose the perfect shade for your project too.
Now, don’t let the old belief fool you, pink isn’t just for little girls’ rooms. The right shade can look sophisticated and modern in any space. But if you’re looking for inspiration for little ones’ rooms, you can see the bedrooms we’ve designed and decorated for our daughters over the years:
- Toddler Girl’s Pink Bedroom
- A Sweet and Colourful Baby Girl’s Nursery
- Sweet and Playful Kid’s Bedroom in Shades of Pink and Blue
- Equestrian-Inspired Girl’s Bedroom in Shades of Purple and Pink
And if you’re looking for even more inspiration you can see even more here.
Joe Solomon says
How can I get samples of some of your pale pastel pink selection? Also what are your prices for 5 litre cans?
Alicia says
Hi Joe, you’ll need to visit your local paint store to pick out samples and purchase paint. We do not sell paint through our blog, these are simply our favourite shades of pink. 🙂
Janet Vaglica says
Why would you post a palette of paint colors without giving the name and company that produces it? This is totally misleading to those of us looking for pale shades of pink. No help at all!
Alicia says
Hi Janet, did you read the entire post? All of the paint colours we shared are listed with the name and brand right below the graphic. We’ve also linked to the companies site if you want additional details on the colour. I think if you take another look at the post, you’ll find it very helpful!
Andrea says
I found your post extremely helpful!! I have been searching all over for shades of pink and your post hit the spot! Thanks!
Alicia says
Thank you, Andrea, so glad you found it helpful!
Dawn says
I agree ! Greatly appreciate the numerous light pink color examples, color name and manufacture ! Very helpful!
T says
I did notice the names of the paint section, but with all the ads it is easy to miss, especially since it’s in a lighter and smaller font! The advertisements make reading a blog post difficult sometimes, maybe that is why they asked and missed the paint names.
Alicia says
Thank you, T, I have made a few adjustments to the post in hopes that it will help make the information clear. 🙂
Kimberly Drake says
White color is the white you used on the bottom half?
Nick says
Hi Kim, it is Simply White by Benjamin Moore!
Lillie.Bergen says
All of the details are listed. This was very helpful, I’m heading to the paint store for samples tomorrow
Alicia says
So glad you found the post helpful, Lillie! Happy painting! 🙂
Andria Phillips says
Where are the ceiling light and rug from?
Alicia says
Hi Andria, the rug is Loloi and the ceiling light was an old purchase from The Home Depot. It was originally silver and we spray painted it cream. You can find a link to the rug here…

anne vanholde says
i painted my walls Antique Rose by Regal Select. what color of white should I paint the trim? please help!
Alicia says
Hi Anne, it’s so hard to suggest a coordinating paint colour when we haven’t used Antique Rose in our home. Paint colours also vary so much depending on lighting, etc. in your own home. If you visit the Benjamin Moore site, they suggest Cloud White and White Dove as coordinating colours, that would be a great place to start. You could also visit your local Benjamin Moore store and they will be able to help too! I hope that helps, Antique Rose is such a beautiful shade of pink!
Jamie says
Hi ! Your daughters rooms are beautiful, what color pink did you use for her room?
Alicia says
Hi Jamie, we’ve now used Pink Bliss by Benjamin Moore in both of our girls’ bedrooms and just love it!
Joanna Nelson says
I love the pink bliss!! Do you think it would match a dusty peach comforter? My daughter has dark peach bedding but wants a pink room so I’m looking for a peachy pink…I am tempted to just get her neutral bedding at this point!😅
Alicia says
Hi Joanna, it’s such a beautiful shade of pink! It may coordinate with peach bedding, does the bedding have any other colours in it? I’d suggest trying a sample on the wall to see if you like it!
Sarah says
I might have missed this, but I’m wondering what color you chose for your room? It’s gorgeous 😊
Alicia says
Thank you, Sarah, I have updated the post to make this information more clear. We used Pink Bliss by Benjamin Moore. Happy painting!
Laura says
Hello! What color did you use in the photos as the top of the article? I apologize if I’m overlooking!
Alicia says
Hi Laura, our daughter’s bedroom is painted Pink Bliss by Benjamin Moore!
S says
Love the pink lamp on her nightstand. Can you provide the details on it?
Alicia says
Unfortunately, I bought these lamps from HomeSense many years ago so I don’t have a link for you.
Irene Madrid says
I remodeled my entire home and one bathroom is a Jack n Jill for two girls’ rooms. I LOVE pink so I had the vanity painted pink, and sprigged wallpaper is pink roses. The vanity counters are a vanilla white to cut down the pink a bit, plus gold oval mirrors. The shower was redone is a mottled and very soft pink.It turned out beautifully.
Alicia says
That sounds beautiful!
