One of the gendered shades of clothing, of course, is pink. This color is firmly tied to the female gender in the representation of most of the inhabitants of the globe. The separation begins literally from the threshold of the maternity hospital - by a ribbon on a blanket, each person you meet is informed about the gender of the child the parents got. Girls are dressed in pink dresses, ribbons of the same color are woven into their hair, and even the cars for the dolls they play with are painted, as expected, in pink.
An interesting fact: until the 40s of the twentieth century, blue was considered a “girlish” color, and it was customary for boys to wear pink as a softer version of the aggressively masculine red color. Pay attention to the dress of Cinderella in the Disney cartoon - it is not at all accidental that it is blue.
However, in the modern world of fashion, pink has practically no place in the men's wardrobe. Therefore, all the colors of this palette belong undividedly to women, and especially to young girls. Pink has been associated with youth since the time of the ancient Roman Empire - it is in such clothes that young people are depicted in ancient frescoes. But even women of elegant age willingly use shades of pink in their wardrobe - with the right choice of tone, it refreshes and rejuvenates. Don't miss the opportunity to look younger just by wearing the right set of clothes.
Pink is also considered a very tasty, "edible" color - it is no coincidence that confectioners tend to add this color to their desserts: to enhance the attractiveness of the product and increase its sales.
Basic shades of pink
The variety of halftones of this color allows absolutely everyone to wear it. Do not assume that it is obtained from a mixture of red and white. In fact, it may include yellow, purple, orange tones. Depending on their saturation, pink is divided into 7 main tones, which designers use when developing new clothing models and ranking the most fashionable colors of the season:
- pale pink;
- lilac pink;
- salmon;
- crimson;
- fuchsia;
- coral;
- magenta.
Cool shades of pink
In cold versions, blue, lilac, purple colors are visible. Warm pink becomes from the presence of yellow, peach, orange notes in it. 
Pale pink, or pearl, tea rose, camellia - all these names are related to that pastel, strongly bleached shade, in which the minimum amount of red color is seen. Such a soft, delicate color will be a good frame for a woman of any age. In a light powdery incarnation, it is especially recommended for ladies over 40 - both for business, office clothes, and for festive outings. Also, soft pink remains the favorite choice of brides (after white) for a wedding dress. 
Lilac pink is sometimes figuratively referred to as a shade of "dusty rose" or "withered rose". Due to the barely audible purple pianissimo, this color has more coldness. It is no longer as refreshing for older women as the previous color, but still full of elegance and style.
Salmon is illuminated with an orange flash, and therefore is recommended for women of a warm color type. Its variety is shrimp and that fantastic natural color called "pink flamingo". 
Raspberry pink, sometimes referred to as berry, is unusually harmonious, slightly cool and very appetizing, with rare exceptions, it suits almost everyone. A special cosiness is felt in knitwear of this dark pink shade: a raspberry jumper or a sweater dress will be the perfect canvas for playing with accessories and bright details of the image. 
In contrast to raspberry, bright and explosive fuchsia is rarely the most complex of pink tones. It must be muffled, dissolved and diluted so that the set does not look provocative and, frankly, impudent. However, despite the audacity of this color, absolutely all women can wear it, with the exception of ladies who have crossed the 70-year mark, if you wear it at the bottom of the outfit - in the form of trousers or shoes.
Coral color is sometimes combined into one group with salmon, however, this is not the case. They share an orange base, but the coral has more pink, so to speak, and the salmon has a slight touch of brown. 
Magenta is a neon shade of pink that contains purple and blue notes. It cools and cuts the eye at the mere glance of it, therefore it is shown only to the same bright and contrasting female representatives. It is this color, in its various variations, that is popularly referred to as the “Barbie color”. Due to its richness, it is difficult to combine and is limited to use for women over 20 years old.
What shades suit each color type?
It was not for nothing that the stylists erased their tongues, tired of answering the question: who will pink suit? Any color type has a place to unfold, and the most important thing in the color scheme of your personal kit is that the pink color takes up so much space in it and exists in exactly the shade that matches your age group.
Color type winter
Contrasting girls of this color type will suit bright, even flashy tones of pink. You should avoid just calm, pacifying shades that do not correspond to the "winter" expressiveness in terms of the strength of the impact on others. Cold and intense pink colors, even dazzling neon, will perfectly fit into the wardrobe of this color type. The only warm shade that they are allowed among the entire pink palette is intense coral. 
Color type spring
Salmon, pale pink in various variations, coral, flamingos - all this is very suitable for a warm, golden spring. You should focus on the color of a natural blush - the skin itself will tell you what choice of pink color it needs. Cold magenta, dusty rose, clover variations with a lilac flavor extinguish the natural beauty of "spring" women. Perhaps, they, the only one, are contraindicated in fuchsia, except in very small "therapeutic" doses and at a great distance from the face. 
Color type summer
Summer is always on friendly terms with those shades of pink in which the influence of gray and blue is felt: “withered rose”, raspberry, pearl, pink-lilac, dirty pink must be present in the arsenal of a “summer” beauty of any age. With a "dusty rose" and dirty pink, you need to handle it carefully - with a high degree of whiteness or, conversely, the presence of a clear gray in pink tones, skin prone to blueness or grayness can take on an unhealthy, withered look. Therefore, it is better not to wear sets in which these colors predominate and, moreover, are concentrated in the upper part of the outfit.
Autumn color type
For some reason, in the near-fashion space, on the pages of blogs and websites about style, among readers and participants in discussions, it is widely believed that the red hair color, often inherent in this color type, and the pink color in clothes are noteworthy antagonists.
In fact, it is not. Copper-red, chestnut, golden hair is in perfect harmony with the right pink: lilac-pink, raspberry, cyclamen. The subtlety is that the color has a clear structure - without halftones and without faded, indistinct shades. Autumn is contrasting and active - give it a decent frame in the form of bright colors. 
The combination of pink in clothing sets
In wearing pink, the most difficult thing is to be able to limit yourself in its quantity. This sweet, seductive, such a feminine color often becomes a hostage to the mistress of the outfit in her desire to show the whole world how sweet, weak, defenseless she is in this world of men. 
How to combine pink with other colors in order not to become a Barbie caricature is easy to understand if you follow simple rules.
pink and white
A combination that has long become a universal classic. White color smooths and evens out the radiance of any shade of pink: fuchsia will give nobility, reducing its explosive power, pearl will add internal energy. Of course, this is not a winter combination, and it is of little use for the off-season, however, paradoxically, acting as outerwear or accessories - a scarf, hat, boots - it is quite acceptable.
Pink and brown or beige
Pink and brown must necessarily match the temperature of the tones. This is the only combination that easily migrated into the men's wardrobe: a pink tie perfectly sets off a strict brown suit. The same combination is suitable for office women's bow.
To wear pink with beige, make one of the colors more distinct and noticeable so that the set does not become a shapeless blur. Both colors are close to the skin color of Caucasian women, and if she is also a natural cold blonde, a poorly thought out outfit without bright color accents will turn its owner into a vague shadow.
pink and blue
Two colors will make friends and spend a wonderful day in your set - creating a great mood for you too - if they do not argue among themselves who is the brightest here. Only one of them is going to be intense. Two saturated tones together, especially those close to neon flashes, will sound in an outfit in a discordant cacophony and hurt the eyes of others. The combination of pastel pink and pale blue looks great. This choice will shade both lips and eyes at the same time - even if they have a different iris color than blue or blue.
The introduction of brown in the form of accessories or shoes will add rigor and elegance to the clothes.
Pink and green
This combination, so often found in garden beds, is hardly embodied in clothes. It is not easy for an ordinary woman to choose shades that are suitable in color and intensity, which will merge in harmony, and will not look like two separate centers of attention in one outfit.
A combination of soft pink and mint colors is considered a win-win. It rejuvenates, refreshes and invigorates. Blends well with many soothing tones of pink and grass green, a deep color. But light green, due to the high content of yellow undertones in it, is combined with pink only in details. It is better to avoid the combination of large scales of these shades in the image.
Pink and yellow
To complete the set, the duet of these two colors lacks the third one, which is not superfluous at all. Yellow, pink and brown - the image is discreet and stylish. The mint color will make the yellow-pink outfit incredibly “edible” and memorable. Burgundy will add a touch of chic to the combination of these shades.
If you replace the yellow color with gold, you will get absolutely not an everyday outfit, but an image “for the occasion”. The brighter the shine of gold, the more the pink detail of clothing should correspond to it in this - satin, silk, metallized thread should also be in it.
Pink and red (orange)
Not being a stylist, it's so easy to miss putting together an outfit with these colors! It seems - what is special, because pink is almost red, only slightly diluted with white. And orange is the brother of red, and therefore pink.
However, the logic and features of color perception are incompatible things. If you really want to try and you are determined - go for it.
There are only three rules:
- do not let other colors into the kit in proportions greater than one-fourth of the outfit as a whole;
- do not use accessories and shoes that repeat the shade of pink, red or orange from the kit;
- make-up should be neutral, and hair should not be outrageous.
Pink and purple
The more blue or lilac undertones are visible in pink, the easier it is combined with purple clothing detail. Universal in all cases will be a shade of the second color, called "grape". Black color will add solemnity to this combination, and white - lightness and mischief.
Pink and gray
What goes with pink is with gray! Playing on the temperatures and shades of these colors, you can create both magnificent, memorable outfits, and slide into a corner of oblivion with an uninteresting gray mouse.
Gray color has an extraordinary ability to tame even a difficult fuchsia, calm the impulsive magenta, highlight the timid camellia and perform worthily in tandem with raspberry.
In combination with gray, not a single shade of pink will look comical or cloying. Avoid only combinations of dusted and too whitened tones of both colors - it looks dull and out of date.
Pink and black
One of the most powerful combinations in terms of the strength of the impact on others. Keep in mind, while gray calms shades of pink, playing the role of a deterrent, black on the same colors acts as a catalyst: it enhances everything. Bright fuchsia will make it simply unbearable to look at, soft pink will turn it into a dirty white, unappetizing shade. Raspberry will become cloudy and thick, and coral will lose its cheerful yellow note in the presence of strict black.
To smooth out this imperfection developer effect, add white to the kit. In the presence of positive white, black stops pouting and happily becomes part of a bright and stylish outfit.
Pink accessories
You need to carefully combine a pink accessory with other elements of women's clothing. Here everything is decided by color - the brighter the shade, the less space it should occupy in the outfit. A bright coral summer hat can match the color of a bracelet, but adding coral sandals here would be superfluous. The cyclamen color belt is completely self-sufficient and does not need additional amplifiers of this color. Pink shoes - shoes are unique, it is better not to distract the attention of the audience from her solo performance in the set.
If you want to keep a pink accessory in your wardrobe for a long time, choose time-tested colors: powdery, raspberry, light pink. These shades will never go beyond the focus of attention of fashion designers.
Each of us is well aware that the color scheme of the interior has a huge impact not only on the appearance of the room, but also on the atmosphere in it, and hence on the mood of its residents.
Pink is considered to be the most romantic and sensual color. It uplifts the mood, fills with a sense of peace, eliminates aggression, relaxes and is even able to drive away depression.
Pink is also the color of the feminine, the color of love. That is why many girls and girls love this color very much.
It should be noted that shades of the pink palette are very appropriate in the decor of the room. Moreover, this color can be chosen as the main or additional one - with the help of pink accessories, you can make stylish accents in the interior of the room in a very stylish and original way. In each of the cases, the use of pink curtains would be an excellent option.
The curtains in the room can be either delicate pastel colors, such as tea rose, or rich, flashy shades, such as fuchsia. The most important thing is that the chosen option harmoniously fits into the overall interior of the room.
Application in the interior
It is worth noting that the pink color is not universal and is not combined with all shades.
However, pink curtains can be a stylish touch to the room, the most important thing is to choose the right combination of shades. They will look very good in the bedroom and children's room.
If a married couple lives in the bedroom, then it is necessary to take into account the taste preferences of the man. They often have nothing against muted dusty pinks and peach tones.
It is also worth remembering the important rule - everything should be in moderation. Too much crimson color will give the interior excessive cloying and sugariness.
In cases where the wall decoration is made in pinkish colors, it is best to choose curtains that are excellent by half a tone or a tone. Then the design will not be overloaded. For example, if pale pink wallpaper is used in the children's room, it is best to choose curtains a shade darker.
Shade combination
As already mentioned, pink color does not belong to the category of universal. That is why it is necessary to combine it correctly with other tones:
- Pink color goes well with beige, white and white-pink tones. This is a classic combination that will always look advantageous. A room in this color palette gives residents lightness, tranquility, relaxation and good rest.
- Very relevant today is the combination of pink curtains with gray or silver wallpaper. It is very stylish and elegant.
- It may seem quite unexpected that pink curtains fit perfectly in a light brown interior.
If you like non-trivial and extravagant solutions, try combining pink curtains with black furniture.
For a children's room, you can use brighter color combinations, for example, try combining raspberry and bright orange. This color scheme will enliven the children's bedroom, make it lighter and richer.
- A chic combination is also a pair - pale pink curtains and purple interior. The room becomes more romantic and even somewhat mysterious. Pink has a whole host of shades that you can also use in your home design: cool pink, dusty pink, dirty pink, light pink, dark pink, salmon, lingonberry pink, purple, coral, raspberry and etc.
- Would be a great idea a combination of light pink curtains with mint or lavender walls. This design is perfect for decorating a bedroom.
All shades of green will be very interesting to contrast with pinkish tones. You can use turquoise, emerald and other shades.
Curtains can be selected not only for the color of the walls, but also for various interior items. A little secret on how to make pink curtains fit into any interior design (even if at first glance they don’t fit it at all) - complement the room with decorative accessories in the color of the curtains. For example, you can use cushions, bedspreads, cute soft toys, vases and other decor items.
It is also very important to follow the rule of color saturation. In the case when the bedroom has a design in bright and saturated colors, choose curtains of a calm warm shade, and if the interior of the room is made in pastel colors, it will be very appropriate to add a bright accent in the form of saturated color curtains.
The most versatile option is plain curtains - they are easier to combine with other interior elements. But if a monochromatic wall decoration is planned in the bedroom, then curtains can be selected with floral, geometric and other patterns.
Exactly the same rules should be followed when choosing curtains in pink for the kitchen. In this room, pink will evoke associations with berries, sweets or delicate sweet desserts. This means that the appetite will always be excellent, which is especially important for families with small children who do not eat well.
One of the shades of pink is coral. About which wallpaper will be combined with coral curtains, see the next video.
materials
It is very important to choose the right not only the shade of the curtains, but also the material from which they are made.
Satin, jacquard, chiffon, organza and tulle are considered classic and win-win types of material for curtains.
Curtains made of chenille look creative and unusual. If for an apartment you choose a set of combined curtains from several types of fabric, then it is better to use different shades for each material - for light fabrics, choose lighter and more delicate tones, for heavy and massive materials, you can choose slightly darker and more saturated colors.
Professional designers rarely choose heavy and bulky materials in the described shades, because in this case this color loses its tenderness, lightness and sophistication.
As a decor for curtains, tucks in the form of flowers, as well as tacks made of pebbles and beads, will look very beautiful.
This year in your opinion? Yellow Red? This is the wrong answer. Today, the trend is soft colors and one of the most fashionable is the shade of dusty rose. Where it is used, we will understand in this article.
What's the color?
The dusty rose is usually described as one of the finest flowers. And it is called gray with a pink tint. It is not entirely clear why, then, an ashen rose is considered. In fact, any color has a lot of variations, depending on its saturation. Therefore, an ashen rose can be not only gray, but also soft pink and even purple.
Who created this color? The first mention of it was made in 1977. It was at this time that Colin McCullough's book The Thorn Birds was published. The main character Maggie Cleary was dressed in a pink shimmer. This outfit stirred up the minds of readers, and when the television series of the same name was released in 1983, the color ash rose took pride of place in the fashion industry.
Good color combinations
To make the ashes of a rose look advantageous, it must be properly supported with other shades. By itself, the grayish-pink color is inconspicuous, but if it is supplemented with contrasting white, it will play in a new way. The same can be said about the deep gray color. It will perfectly complement the dusty rose.
The combination of colors that go with the pink-gray hue: dusty brown, beige, soft cornflower blue, lilac, burgundy.
If you can't find the right color, just see what goes best with cool gray. After all, pink ash is clearly not a warm shade, so all colors with a bluish or greenish tint are well combined with it.
In floristry
It is clear that the color dusty rose was taken from nature. The flower has such a color during its withering. It becomes pale, its leaves shrivel and fall off. But today, floral art is at its best. Therefore, color designers can give the rose absolutely any shade with the help of paint. The flower is not painted with a brush or airbrush. The pigment is added to the water in which the rose stands. The flower is saturated with vital energy, and at the same time it takes away the granules of color. So, within 2-3 days you can make a fashionable dusty rose from a standard white or cream rose.
Where are flowers of this shade used? Well, of course, in wedding bouquets. Most often they are supplemented with decorative greenery and gypsophila. Also, ash roses often coexist with white or pink. A bouquet of these flowers is perfect for blondes who want to opt for something delicate.
Also, ashen roses are presented by guys to their lovers. But not as a flower of parting, but vice versa. They believe that love will live forever, as a rose can do. After all, even in a dried state, the flower remains beautiful.
in clothes
The color of the dusty rose was especially loved by the designers. Most often, wedding or evening dresses are sewn in this shade. One of the leading designers Elie Saab constantly uses grayish pink color in his collections. It is this shade that makes the girl feminine and fragile. But it is worth considering that, as in the case of flowers, such dresses will suit blondes, while a brunette in a dusty rose dress will look almost naked. Incredibly often you can see evening dresses of this shade on movie actresses walking along the red carpet. Even royals periodically wear outfits in trendy colors.
But not only evening dresses are sewn in dusty rose color. Clothing that is considered casual can also be in this trendy shade. Today, on the shelves of stores you can see cute sweaters, blouses and even pants in pale pink with a gray tint. What can I say, designers even sew coats in this color. Not surprisingly, other accessories such as hats, shawls, clutches, shoes and even watches are in demand in this shade.
In the interior
Today it is fashionable to hire designers to furnish your home. And like in any other field of art, interior design has its own trends. In each season, one or another color can be distinguished, to which experts give their preference. Moreover, it can be the same shade that is used in fashion shows. So, the color dusty rose, from floristic art and from boutiques, moved to interior design. Today you can see many living rooms and bedrooms, which are made in grayish-pink shades. Often this color is used to decorate women's boudoirs or bathrooms.
But not all people want to live in a too dim interior. Therefore, the dusty pink color can be used not as the main one, but as an additional one. For example, in a white interior, pinkish-gray accents look very gentle.
Many photographers love the dusty rose color. Therefore, they design their studios in this way. Moreover, not the whole photo studio, but one location may look like this. This is not surprising, because the human figure is not lost on the dusty pink color, but on the contrary, it becomes brighter.
