Coral Pink

Coral pink is a lovely blend of pink and orange and is representative of the shades of marine life found in coral reefs. When you use the hue sparingly in a room with mostly grays and whites; teal and ivory; or cognac, slate, and taupe, you can create a look that any person would be happy to relax in. When used sparingly, coral pink can create just the right amount of visual drama without being overbearing. Coral is a naturally feminine color. Because of this, you can use it to feminize just about any space. To create a more sophisticated atmosphere, offset your coral pieces with walls of navy blue and metallic fixtures. All metals work well with coral, so don't be hesitant to use gold, silver, bronze, or brush nickel. When you use light grays, whites, and blacks with coral pink, you will get a traditionally delicate feel. Combine this shade with navy and white for a more subdued vibe.
