Murray loves this soft pink as an alternative to neutrals. "In the music room of a bachelor’s bungalow, a soft and sophisticated whisper of pink warms the walls and offers a touch of contrast, all while feeling fresh," she says.

Sherwin-Williams Demure

Abbe Fenimore, founder and principal designer of Studio Ten 25 loves Demure by Sherwin-Williams. "A bright blush pink is perfect for painting smaller furniture pieces. A sophisticated blush that has a bit of brightness to it makes for the perfect light pink that won't overpower a space," she says.

Benjamin Moore Marry Me

"An upbeat pink reminiscent of soft rose petals is ideal for any room or large built-in shelving," explains Fenimore. "The soft pink works well in spaces with ample natural light without feeling too reflective or washed out."

Farrow & Ball Pink Ground

"I love Farrow & Ball Pink Ground," gushes designer Tali Roth. "It's a neutral, so depending on the context it is in, it can read as more pink or more beige, which works well for the way I design spaces."

Caitlyn Murray of Black Lacquer Design agrees. "I love the softness and sophistication of this color for summer," she says. "Super-subtle pastels feel so fresh right now, but they also offer a timeless quality (and are safe since they read as neutrals)."

Fine Paints of Europe Windsor Pink

Sasha Bikoff loves Fine Paints of Europe's Windsor Pink.

"I've used pink paint to create everything from bedrooms to living rooms—I consider some shades almost like a neutral," she says. "As paler pinks have a cream and yellow base as opposed to purple, it means they're easier to pair with bold rugs and fabrics."

Benjamin Moore Fruit Shake

Designer Tracy Morris of Tracy Morris Design loves Fruit Shake because it has a muted base.

"[Fruit Shake] has a lot of brown in the base, so it does not appear too saturated," Morris says. "I know all of us have walked into a little girl’s room and thought, ‘Whoa, this is pink!’. That Pepto pink is the result of not enough beige in the back tone," she explains.

Benjamin Moore Pink Moiré

Designer Annie Elliott of Annie Elliott Design used blush in her own home.

"Our living room is north-facing, so some colors wash out," she says. "Pink Moire looks quite strong when you view it on the color wheel, but on the walls of this room, it's the perfect shade of blush."
