Cameo Pink

Cameo pink is a warm, soft rose pink with subtle purple undertones, similar to the inside of a conch shell. Once considered a kids-only color, this shade is unexpectedly chic when incorporated into interior design. Looking for a bold, unique vibe? Mixing this hue with leopard prints, or animal prints in general, pulls off just the right amount of quirkiness. This concept can work anywhere, from foyers to bedrooms to living rooms. Add a statement sofa in this hue. Add allure to bedrooms with linens in this color. Pillows in this hue add energy and charm to living spaces. When using cameo pink to decorate—or to make a statement—whether on walls or as a furniture accent, keep other furnishings neutral and black. This hue also fits naturally with cottage-themed décor. When blended with white, it looks sweet and appealing. Pro tip: Be careful about pairing it with too many pastels. This hue needs room to shine. It softens hard lines and has a promise of hidden depths. It also looks fabulous when incorporated into a monochromatic scheme. Pairing this hue with soft pinks, fuchsia, or shades of rose adds intrigue and an air of relaxation.
