Oyster

This very soft pink is inspired by the color of the inside of an oyster. Even a quick look at its CMYK values shows you that it’s a very unsaturated shade. Its very small percentages of magenta, yellow, and black give it a barely-there quality, and it makes a nice calm wall or background color.

Shimmering Blush

Shimmering Blush is a pleasant pink shade that does almost have a metallic quality about it. It’s very similar to the color of most powdered blush, and it strikes a beautiful balance between rose and lavender. Since it has slightly more red than blue and green, Shimmering Blush is also well balanced in terms of both warmth and coolness.

Sea

Sea might seem like a strange name for a shade of pink. However, this color is just about the color of the inside of a seashell. With equal amounts of magenta and yellow, Sea is a very warm, almost peachy shade of pink. However, it also has substantial amounts of green and blue, so it manages to not be overly warm.

Brink

This bright medium pink is a great option for projects requiring a shade of pink that’s just a step down from hot pink. As you can see through its CMYK values, Brink has no cyan or black, and its RGB values show that it has far less green and blue than it does red. That helps explain its vivacious warmth. Brink pops against black, and it looks nice beside its complementary color – a very bright seafoam shade.

Hippie

Hippie is somewhat of an outsider among other shades of pink. It’s too red to be mauve, yet too purple to be raspberry. It looks a little like a watered-down maroon. This muted color looks nice beside blue and green jewel tones, but it would also work well alongside other neutrals in a calm color palette.

Light Deep Pink

The name of light deep pink might seem like a contradiction at first. But while this color is lighter than some pinks, it has incredible depth and presence. It’s ideal if you need a light pink that can grab attention without being quite as loud as a neon color. If you’re looking for a fresh contrast, Light Deep Pink creates a memorable pop against navy blue.

Orchid shades of pink have a calming beauty thanks to their light quality and slight blue undertones. Wild orchid, in particular, has a very slight dusty quality. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for a calming shade, and it looks nice alongside blues and grays.

But as you can see from its RGB values, Shocking Pink also has a good bit of blue that gives it some depth.

Neon Fuchsia

On its own, fuchsia is close to neon, but this version packs some extra punch. As indicated by its CMYK values, it has a high degree of both magenta and yellow. Its brightness is slightly tempered by blue, but its high proportion of red ensures plenty of presence.

Schauss Pink

If you find Schauss Pink to be calming, scientific evidence agrees with you. This color is named after Alexander Schauss, a researcher who extensively investigated the effects of color on emotions. He conducted the research at Seattle’s Naval Correctional Facility. Schauss named the color Baker-Miller Pink after the directors of the facility, but the color has since also been called Schauss Pink. You may also sometimes hear it described as P-618 or Drunk-Tank Pink.

Silvery Pink

This pretty color is ideal if you’re looking for something that’s in between gray and pink. Silvery Pink has a higher proportion of black than many shades of pink on the list (as you can see in its CMYK values), and that helps give it its shadowy quality.

Melon

This soft, peachy color is a bit more subdued than the color of a watermelon. Melon is right between the shades of salmon and peach, and it’s cheerful yet mellow. You can see that quality reflected in the CMYK values. Melon has slightly more yellow than it does magenta, but it has a little bit of black. This pink shade pairs well with light blue and light green, as well as some shades of light purple.

Rosy Pink

Rosy Pink is a lovely shade that’s somewhere between a rose pink and a hot pink.

Gold Pink

Gold Pink is another pink shade on the list that’s very close to being a neutral. As you can see from its CMYK values, it has almost the same amount of black as it does magenta.

Misty Rose

Copper Rose

Copper Rose is a somewhat unusual shade of pink. It might best be described as being rose gold with a little brown mixed in. And as the name suggests, it’s also roughly the color of a rose mixed with the color of copper. This reddish-metallic hue has a quiet look about it, and its complementary color is a somewhat dusty shade of blue. As you can see, much of its subdued nature comes from the large amount of black present.

Raspberry Glace

This color’s appetizing name seems accurate. It does look a lot like a sugar-preserved raspberry. It does have a fairly purplish look that’s explained by its high proportion of blue in relation to red. If you like quieter, dusty pinks but want something that’s more mulberry-like in appearance, Raspberry Glace is worth considering.

Light Hot Pink

As the name suggests, Light Hot Pink is essentially a diluted, pastel version of hot pink. This color is probably what most people would picture when imagining a pale pink.
