While virtually every tone of yellow, orange, and brown qualifies for Thanksgiving, some colors and paints are even more related to this popular traditional American holiday. A good number of them are even named after Thanksgiving and everything related to this holiday!
There’s quite a difference between them, isn’t it?
All Thanksgiving-related paints and colors are presented with their HEX and RGB color codes to make this article a handful of references for everybody who intends to use them for any of their projects. As you already know, the origin of Thanksgiving goes back to the 17th century, when Pilgrims traveled to North America.
Did you expect just black and gray shades? Well, it seems the color palette is much wider. Pilgrims had hard times, and a good harvest was crucial for their survival.
Harvest Colors with HEX and RGB Codes
A typical harvest is colored in yellowish and brownish tints. The colors named after harvest are faithful to this expectation.
A lot of variations with yellow and red with a small amount of blue if we stay limited to basic colors only. Of course, harvest symbolizes life, and life is closely associated with these colors. Symbolically, we can also relate harvest with the sun, which is often presented with a gold color.
We are not done yet. Orange-colored harvest is so popular we just had to add another set for you to check the possibilities and compare one with another. They are all lovely, but they look even better in combination.
It’s true. Harvest is not limited to grains only. Grapes contribute to autumn crops as well. They make a lovely contrast with yellowish tones.
The Color of Corn
Corn is one of the major staples in America for many centuries. The rest of the world imported it, and it became the major source of carbs for people and livestock. Its rich yellow shades can make a great base for all kinds of Thanksgiving projects.
Pumpkins, with their variety of colors, are an important part of the decor for the whole autumn. We can already adore their rich hues in Halloween colors. Thanksgiving is a bit different. They are still pretty, but they can be served on the table in different dishes as well.
Don’t forget, these are just a few possibilities to use the color of pumpkins in your projects.
Gourds
Gourd comes in many colors. They are fruits, including, but not limited to pumpkins. You can find examples among cucumbers, melons, and other families of edible fruits which can all find their way to the Thanksgiving dinners. There are some examples of gourds in different colors with HEX codes and RGB values.
That’s it. It’s not much different from corn and pumpkin colors, but gourd colors can still present a nice change in the Thanksgiving color palette.
Autumn
We have already mentioned that Thanksgiving is a celebration of autumn. So don’t be surprised to see a few sets of colors with autumn in their names.
#7F282B (127, 40, 43) Autumn Red (Volkswagen) #321004 (50, 16, 4) Autumn Brown (Ford) #7F2C23 (127, 44, 35) Autumn Red (AMC) #521719 (82, 23, 25) Autumn Red (Ford) #693423 (105, 52, 35) Autumn Rust (AMC)
Rich red colors are an obvious option. Scientists agree that the red color encourages appetite. It’s the perfect addition to Thanksgiving decor at Thanksgiving dinner. If it’s too strong, just use a hint of red. Or, replace it with orange. A combination works well, too.
That’s right. Some greenery can stay alive and well in autumn too. Are you ready for Autumn leaves?
Autumn Leaves
Our first association with the end of summer is probably the change of colors of leaves. Several paint makers named their products after autumn leaves.
Fall is the other word for autumn. They can be used interchangeably. Their use differs mainly by the occasion. Autumn is considered a bit more formal and fall is more often used in American English. At least, leaves are still leaves!
#EACD45 (234, 205, 69) Fall Leaves (Valspar Paint) #C86E44 (200, 110, 68) Fall Leaf (Valspar Paint) #C47A3A (196, 122, 58) Fall Leaves (Behr) #B48347 (180, 131, 71) Fall Leaf (KILZ) #C28359 (194, 131, 89) Fall Foliage (Dunn-Edwards)
We are done with the colors of leaves but not with autumn or fall.
Cornucopia
Cornucopia roughly translates as a horn of plenty. It’s a symbol of a good harvest, presented as a horn, full of goods promising a good life even when the temperatures are lower.
If red color shades by autumn leaves are not enough, there is another great source of red colors – cranberry, one of the most popular elements of Thanksgiving dinners.
The tradition of cranberries very likely comes from the very beginning. It was venison, not turkey, on the first Thanksgiving tables, and acid from cranberries makes it much more digestible, not to mention the C vitamin richness, perfect for the season of colds.
Of course, there are several sorts of pecans. This fact is also reflected in the paints on the market. But we are almost full and ready for a final drink.
Thanksgiving Drinks
There are many popular drinks served for Thanksgiving, some containing alcohol and others without.
I hope you enjoyed our presentation of Thanksgiving colors. Did you learn something new? Bookmark this page for further reference and tell your friends. Have a great Thanksgiving. Cheers!
Halloween colors are orange and black, right? Yes and no. While black and orange are traditionally associated with Halloween, this tradition is only about one hundred years old. Celebrations of Halloween, on the other hand, have roots in Pagan and Christian customs with centuries of history, way more than America with pumpkins was discovered by Europeans, who, by the way, brought Halloween to the New World, not vice versa.
Attention: for visual purposes, we used a few images from Amazon, leading to products. If you buy some of them, we may earn a small commission, which doesn’t affect on your pice.
This article will present dozens of Halloween-related colors with HEX and RGB codes to offer hundreds of ideas for designers and everybody interested in Halloween decor. Remember the basic rule – go for contrasts. You’ always need at least two colors to create a contrast.
Let’s start!
Orange
Orange is the color of pumpkins. Orange is a bright, positive color, presenting light, flames, and warmth, reminding us of the Sun in contrast with the coming winter with coldness, darkness, fear, and death.
What color code is Halloween orange?
According to different designers, it can be one of these:
As you can see, several shades of orange qualify for Halloween, some being more and some less vibrant. It’s up to you to choose the right one for your project or event.
Pumpkin Orange Color Codes
There are many symbols associated with Halloween, but the pumpkin in its significant orange hue is an indisputable winner of the last century. Here are several shades to pick from.
This is just a start, of course. Some companies like this hue of orange so much, that they created a whole series of Pumpkin colors in different shades.
The most famous object made of pumpkins is Jack o’ Lantern. If you don’t know the story behind Jack o’ Lantern, here is in short: Jack was a frugal old man and a prankster. When his time came, he even cheated death! Eventually, he was refused from heaven and hell. This made him wander around with an improvised lamp, made of hollowed turnip. When the settlers from Europe brought this story to America, they found out that pumpkins were way more suitable for carving than turnips, so they started making improvised lamps from pumpkins. This is how Jack o’ Lantern (Jack of Lantern) became a part of the Halloween tradition!
#EB8217 (235, 130, 23) Jack O Lantern (Dulux) #EF851D (239, 133, 29) Jack O Lantern (Glidden) #ED861F (237, 134, 31) Jack O Lantern (ICI) #C06C3E (192, 108, 62) Jack O Lantern (Behr) #F47834 (244, 120, 52) Jack O Lantern (Valspar)
We could go on and on, but it’s probably better to devote some time to other colors as well.
The scheme above is just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s go into details.
Yellow
Yellow was considered the signature Halloween color until the beginning of the 20th century. Corn Yellow is a similarly dominant color for Autumn and lost its popularity due to more aggressive orange which simply looks better in contrast with dark background. Yellow never went out of fashion, though. There is also a tradition of making Corn hush dolls, adopted by settlers from Native Americans who used corn as one of their main staples completely – corn husk was (and still is) among other things used for making dolls as toys for kids. These dolls/witches were also considered protectors against bad dreams and evil spirits.
Did you know that Native Americans have dozens of stories with different Corn Gods and Spirits? Corn was a main staple for hundreds of tribes, including nomadic tribes, so we can obviously expect a lot of corn-related colors, as well.
Red is a classic Autumn color, so it’s been included in Halloween-related decor for centuries. Yet, there were mainly yellow and brown leading the way, with red color, as being so aggressive, used in most cases for accents only. Well, in recent decades, things changed a lot. Vampires became immensely popular and they are obsessed with blood. Blood drops, bloody lips and fangs, blood stains, etc., are everywhere. And if you plan a crime-scene-themed Halloween party, you’ll definitely need a lot of blood.
Don’t forget that blood is also a symbol of life and love. Always go for contrasts!
Brown
Brown is another traditional Halloween color that fell out of fashion when orange and black took the lead. But it’s coming back. The reason is simple. With so many brown shades, you simply don’t want to neglect it, if you don’t want to miss a large portion of decorating options. Brown is warm and earthly, but it can also act dull and depressive if you exaggerate.
Our advice would be to use brown as an addition to other, stronger colors. Maybe to emphasize some of their characteristics or frame too much aggressiveness of other colors.
Purple
Purple is the most recent addition to the Halloween palette. It does not come from natural cycles, like yellow, orange, red, and brown, but is associated with supernatural happenings for centuries. Purple colors were made from very expensive pigments, so purple was reserved for affluent and powerful people only. This probably caused the perception of witches and wizards dressed in purple, as well. And here we are – purple entered the Halloween scenery!
Again, this is a very strong color. Overusing it can cause headaches, so act wisely!
Green
Halloween is on the edge of summer and winter. We can present it in still warm, yet fading hues of brown, but we can still pay homage to lively green from summertime. It’s not a traditional Halloween color, because our ancestors who celebrated Samhain and All Saint’s Day, didn’t really have much green around. Green shades entered the equation only in the 20th century when merchants tried to find something extra to enliven the already predictable orange-black scheme.
The closest association of green with witchcraft is probably the green face of the wicked Witch of the West from the famous Wizard of Oz.
If green somehow surprised you, you should definitely check the next color.
Blue
Blue can be used similarly to purple. It’s not a color from nature and is mostly associated with authority, calmness, and wisdom. Not exactly a color for pranksters, right? Still, it works well as an addition to the color palette. After all, blue is a complementary color to orange, which opens numerous possibilities.
Also, it’s worth mentioning, that blue has another meaning on Halloween – children with blue buckets on trick-on-treating have autism or sensory handicaps, which means they are not able to communicate like the rest of the children. They still enjoy Halloween, and they still love candies, stickers, small toys, or whatever.
#EAF5FB (234, 245, 251) Ghost White (Reaper Miniatures) #6E9AB6 (110, 154, 182) Witch Bay (General Paint) #778BA5 (119, 139, 165) Shadow Blue #9FB4B2 (159, 180, 178) Mystic Lake (Berger) #5D5F77 (93, 95, 119) Blue Blood (Behr)
From blue (there are many more shades of blue) to grey, which is, of course, a faded black.
Grey
The color grey is not a color for parties, Yet it’s irreplaceable for decor. Think about dust, fog, spiderwebs, gothic scenery, etc. Grey is also a great way to set some limits to the sometimes too-aggressive use of orange and red.
#C0BFC7 (192, 191, 199) Ghost (Resene) #595A5C (89, 90, 92) Zombie (Glidden) #D3CBBF (211, 203, 191) Grey Ghost (Scib Paints) je rjava, lahko pod sivo #D5CDC1 (213, 205, 193) Grey Ghost (Cloverdale Paint) je rjava, lahko pod sivo #777E86 (119, 126, 134) Evening Shadow (CIL)
And here it is – the king of the Halloween!
Black
Black is the color of the night. It’s also the color of death. It is the strongest color of all, so use it cautiously. A Halloween party needs a proper setting, but it’s still a party. You want people to enjoy, not to become depressive. And if you think that black is just black, think again. Here are a few examples of black hues for Halloween:
#393F40 (57, 63, 64) Black Night (Shalimar Paints) #080808 (8, 8, 8) Vampire Black (Mitsubishi) #363C3D (54, 60, 61) Dungeon (Kelly-Moore) #292A2D (41, 42, 45) Dark Kettle Black (Valspar Paint) #1B1B1B (27, 27, 27) Eerie Black
This concludes our journey through Halloween colors. A bit of tradition, a bit of tip, a bit of curiosity. We hope, the mix was right for you and you will create a perfect blend from our options for your party.
Importance of Colors at Felix Vallotton’s Paintings
Felix Edouard Vallotton (1865-1925) was a Swiss painter who became a naturalized French citizen in 1900. He was a very productive artist with close to two thousand finished paintings, several hundred woodcuts, and other works during his life. Woodcuts were very important in his early career, being one of his major income sources during the financially insecure years. Like many of his contemporaries, he was heavily influenced by Japanese woodcuts. His main technique was xylography, an ancient printing method, based on wooden blocks, where a picture had to be drawn directly on wood, carved in relief, covered with ink, and finally printed on medium.
This method demands efficient use of materials. Felix Vallotton made a very detailed drawing at first and then simplified it. He made simplifications three, five, or even more times until he achieved the desired effect – the realistic image with just the essence, yet still with a bit of his ironic view. Portraits of his contemporaries and several series of interactions between men and women made him pretty famous. He transferred this method of repeated simplification into oil paintings, as well. While he almost stopped producing prints after his marriage with Gabrielle Rodrigues-Henriques, he kept the same technique during all his painting years, right to the end of his life.
Here is a selection of Felix Vallotton’s paintings, where color is not just used as a tool, but plays a major role as well. Felix Vallotton loved to use vivid, bright colors, spread on flat monochromatic areas with distinctive edges. He also liked to confront complementary colors, especially red and green, often dominating the scene, which can be presented in unusual perspectives. Felix Vallotton was a master of lights and shades, which you’ll also see in the presented selection of about 30 paintings with colors in their titles. They are presented in chronological order so you can explore the changes in his approaches during his formative and mature years.

The Red Balloon, 1899
Interior with woman in Red from Behind, 1903

Use of violet color is pretty rare in oil paintings. In this case, its dominant.

The painting above is a textbook of using different green shades to achieve the realistic effect of space.
French Marigold, Purple Daisies, and Golden Sheves, 1925
Roumanian in a Red Dress, 1925
As you can notice, Vallotton preferred interiors at the beginning, then moved to portraits and landscapes, to be mainly focused on still life in his later years. There were also exceptions, of course. We can add that in his last decade of life when more and more health issues limited him, he painted many landscapes from his memory. Despite portraying hundreds of nudes, one of his last works, a portrait of a Roumanian lady of negotiable virtue in a red dress, is probably his most controversial. Today, the original is hung in the Museum d’Orsay in Paris.
The colors of Saint Patrick’s Day are not necessarily the same as Saint Patrick’s colors. While mentioning the patron saint of Ireland everybody starts thinking green, things are a bit more complicated. This article will explain the role of the colors of this popular feast, with some history behind it, and, for a more scientific approach we’ll also add HEX and RGB codes for all the presented colors.
St. Patrick’s Flag Color Codes
The official flag of Saint Patrick has no green color at all. It’s a simple flag with a red cross on a white background. St. Patrick’s Cross, also known as St. Patrick’s Saltire was adopted at the end of the 19th century by the Anglo-Irish Order of Saint Patrick. It is supposed to have roots in one of the powerful Irish dynasties but there are no convincing proofs for that claim. The Order was established by British King George III and Irish nationalists rejected it.
St. Patrick’s color was blue, not green. There are several candidates for the specific shade of blue, with the sash of the Order of St. Patrick, arms of the Kingdom of Ireland, and Irish presidential standard as the main contenders. Others have their own ideas of St. Patrick’s Blue.
#7696AB (118, 150, 171) St. Patrick’s Order Sash #285AA1 (40, 90, 161) Kingdom of Ireland Arms Blue #00005C (0, 0, 96) Irish Presidential Standard Blue #23297A (35, 41, 122) St. Patrick’s Blue (Encycolorpedia) #94C4E1 (148, 196, 225) Patrick’s Perfect Day (Valspar)
Irish Flag Colors
The Irish flag consists of three colors: green, white, and orange. We already have a code for white and here are the codes for green and orange:
Green: #009A49 (0, 154, 7) and Orange: #FF7900 (255,121,0)
The problem with green is that almost everybody has his intimate vision of the right shade of green. The green hue above is made by Pantone, by the way. Orange is even more controversial. Some people believe it should be gold (coming from the golden harp which was used in the Irish flag before 1916), not orange, so a stripe in the yellow shade would be way better.
Something like Golden Yellow: #FFD700 (255, 215, 0) on the left or Irish Linen (Berger) #F8F3DA (248, 243, 218) on the right in the picture above. Harp is still a national instrument of Ireland and a must at celebrations in honor of its patron saint.
While green in the flag is symbolizing the Catholic majority in Ireland, orange represents Protestants, supporters of William of Orange from the Netherlands. White between both other colors should show the peaceful coexistence of both religions in Ireland. With time, green became a symbol of Irish Nationalists and Orange a symbol of British Unionists. But let’s leave politics to politicians and check the possible shades of green, useful for all kinds of projects related to the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.
Irish Green
What can look more Irish than the Irish Green color? We can certainly expect more than one solution when we look for the RGB code of this particular shade of green. As expected, due to the lack of unique standards, everybody with a bit of authority has a different perception:
Yes, it’s hard to spot the difference between both Pantone’s Irish Green colors yet here we are. On the other hand, we can see that the major brands of paints made even more options for the market. So can you tell now what color is Irish Green?
Ireland is an island (hence the name) which is due to its beauty often called Emerald Island. This means that one of the popular colors for St. Patrick’s Day would probably be Emerald Green. It seems we have more than one option with that name too.
If you need just one, let me give you a hint – major brands, like Adobe, prefer the first one: #50C878. On the other hand, each one of us prefers specific authorities on specific subjects. The car industry, for instance, has its very own logic. All the next five shades of Emerald Green are made by Chrysler and all bear the same name.
As we already expected different shades of green qualify as Emerald green which is logical because emeralds also don’t always look the same. The composition of their crystal structure with always present impurities will always offer a wide variety of hues even before the grinding.
Then, of course, the color changes even more, depending on the point of view.
Kelly Green
Kelly is a popular Irish name. It can mean many things, icluding warrior, the-one-who-frequently-goes-to-church, bright headed, and wood. It’s used as first name and surname and you can name Kelly a boy or a girl. Kelly is one of the words that are most closely associated with Ireland. Kelly Green is a popular color and it’s time to find out why it’s so special.

St. Patrick’s Green
Several hues of green were declared as St. Patrick’s Green. Here are a few examples.
#009B69 (0, 155, 105) St. Patrick (Dutch Boy) #009F7E (0, 159, 126) St. Patrick (Benjamin Moore) #50C9AC (80, 201, 172) St. Patty’s Day (Benjamin Moore) #3A8B57 (58, 139, 87) Patrick Green (Duron) #8CBE49 (140, 190, 73) Patrick (Ameritone Devoe)
Shamrock Green
Shamrock is the national plant of Ireland and one of the most recognized symbols of St. Patrick’s Day. If you plan anything related to the feast of this popular saint, Shamrock Green is almost a mandatory part of your color palette.
But what are the RGB codes of Shamrock Green? Don’t worry, we’ll offer a few examples from this area as well.
#097962 (9, 121, 98) Shamrock Green (Kelly-Moore) #4EA77E (78, 167, 126) Shamrock Green (Behr) #216D56 (33, 109, 86) Shamrock Green (Coronado Paint) #007057 (0, 112, 87) Shamrock Green (Vista Paint) #307962 (48, 121, 98) Shamrock Green (Cloverdale Paint)
There are several definitions of violet color. It all started with Isaac Newton who defined certain wavelengths (from 380 to 435 nm) of visible light as violet. The name came from the flowers of violet color. This is where things might become a bit complicated because we know several kinds of different violets and each one of them can vary a bit in shades.
In the RGB model violet is made by mixing blue and red with blue as the dominant light and in the CMYK model by using magenta and cyan with magenta as the dominant pigment. On the color wheel, we can find it between blue and magenta.
This article will present many different shades of violet with examples. Here you’ll find names, HTML codes, and RGB codes. Some of the shades will inevitably overlap with other colors where blue and red are also the main ingredients. The aim of this article is to collect as many shades as possible in one place in logical order which is useful for everybody interested in color violet. If you find it interesting, share it with your friends.
Photo of violet – a beautiful example of blue-red combo
Dark Violet Color
#8000FF (128, 0, 255) Dark Violet #330066 (51, 0, 102) Deep Violet Color #784384 (120, 67, 132) Night Violet #6A75AD (106, 117, 173) Midnight Violet #4F566C (79, 86, 108) Heavy Violet
As you can see we already have a bit of a problem with naming. There are already two colors named simply violet but by different standards. There are also two colors named Dark Violet (the other has HEX code #9400D3) and with Deep Violet we only open the doors to more interpretations.
At least we can conclude that the general perception of violet is that it’s a color where we have more blue than red in the mixture. We’ll of course find some exceptions as well but these will soon lead to other names.
Violet can be a pretty energetic and intense color. According to the names above it’s very fashionable as well. So if you need ultra violet RGB code or want to know what Electric Violet Color looks like, you are in the right place.
Violet Colors Names in Combination with Other Colors
These are only a few examples. Dozens of paint makers offer their unique mixtures of violet paints where additional color is added to violet.
Light Violet Shades
Light shades of violet are especially popular as wall paints due to their soothing/relaxing effect. It is believed that light violet shades act especially stimulative on intellectual activities. Here are a few bright, pastel, pale, soft, and other light violet colors with HEX and RGB codes.
Colors are never not just pure physics. They are cultural products as well. Here are some examples of the perception of the violets around the globe.
#B284BE (178, 132, 190) African Violet #551B8C (85, 27, 140) American Violet #8B818C (139, 129, 140) Asian Violet #856088 (133, 96, 136) Chinese Violet #563C5C (86, 60, 92) English Violet
To be honest, the African Violet color got its name after the flower, not after the continent. Anyway, the flower is named after Africa, and you’ll have a chance to find many more kinds of violet colors named after flowers and other plants. A bit later, of course.
As you probably noticed our world is not enough for naming all the violet shades. We had to name one after Vega!
Violet Shades Named after Flowers
We have already stated that color got its name after the flower named violet. Even more, the color named African Violet is named after the flower with the same name. And so on. To avoid complications, we’ll just continue with the violet shades named after flowers.
Lavender is known in so many different shades that the creation of a whole family of lavender colors is necessary. Don’t worry, it’s already on my to-do-list.
While Mauveine sounds related to Mauve it’s actually the first synthetic dye, created by William Henry Perkin in 1865 while attempting to create a chemical with properties of quinine. This accidentally made dye is also called Aniline Purple, Purple Aniline, Perkin’s Mauve, or Perkin’s Mallow.
Violet Fruits
Violet fruits are relatively rare. We (and other fruit eaters) tend to associate blueish hues with decay. But we still got a few to show.
Yes, you got it right, there is a color named after poison. And no, nothing is wrong with your computer. some violet shades are just so dark they look almost black.
How About Violet Animals?
Believe it or not, we managed to find five shades of violet named after animals to create a group for this area too.
Don’t ask how each of these colors got their name. We can tell you only that Sumire means lovely or graceful in Japanese. It’s a pretty common girl’s name.
So here we are – with 150 shades of violet. Maybe we’ll add more if there’s interest among our audience. This means it’s up to you, actually. Share this article with your friends and good things will happen. Bye.
Welcome to the longest list of pink shades in the world. Here you’ll find 265 different pink colors with examples, their HTML (HEX) and RGB codes, and a lot of amusing tidbits about probably the most controversial color of all – the color pink.
Numerous shades of pink can look pretty different than one might imagine, sometimes looking yellowish, reddish, grayish, or, of course purplish, often resembling pink only by their names.
This list of pink names is organized by groups with certain shared traits – by origin, by name, by association, … My intention when writing this article was not only to create a useful list for artists, designers, web developers, and other ‘professionals’, but to provide an interesting read in the form of a story. Your comments and suggestions are appreciated, and I encourage you to share this article with everybody who might be interested in pink color.
Types of Pink HEX Codes
As you probably already know different standards define pink differently. So we start with a few pinks but soon find out an addition to the name is necessary. Hence, we got the simple and best pink in the first group already.
Color pink is well-known for its soothing effect, characteristic of all (not only pink) light and pastel colors. If want to calm down, you could find an answer in the next set of light pink colors.
What is the difference between light, pastel, pale, and soft pink? We could open a semantic debate here but in reality, all these adjectives are used interchangeably. So when you search for a specific light shade of pink don’t forget to check soft, pale, pastel, etc. pinks as well.
As you can see even if we limit our exploration to pale and soft tones of pink, we deal with a huge amount of different hues with more or less blue or yellow helping to make the statement of the final color.
#F0DCE5 (240, 220, 229) Very Pale Pink #CEA9B8 (206, 169, 184) Pale Dusty Pink #F9DEDD (249, 222, 221) Pale Salmon Pink #DEC5D3 (222, 197, 211) Pale Rose Pink #F0D3D4 (240, 211, 212) Pale Lip
The family of pale pinks is finished with Pale Lip which immediately suggests mentioning lipsticks. Many of them are pretty pale, or, as is modern to say, natural, but the main point of lipsticks is to accent lips as one of the most romantic parts of the human body.
So stronger shades of pink for lipsticks are suggested!
Apparently, everybody wants to know the hot pink HEX code. But which one? All the hot pinks above are pretty similar, with a huge amount of red and a hint of blue. Such colors are very popular for lipsticks because they combine energy and sensuality. The hot pink color in its many variations is very likely the most controversial color of all. Either you love it or you can’t stand it. It’s very hard to find a neutral way for it.
#CF6BA9 (207, 107, 169) Super Pink #E75480 (231, 84, 128) Dark Pink #FF1493 (255, 20, 147) Deep Pink #FF007F (255, 0, 127) Bright Pink #FF6FFF (255, 111, 255) Ultra Pink
Dark and deep shades of pink are in most cases on the edge of purple and violet colors, so it’s good to know there is no clear and unequivocal way to tell if a certain color belongs among the shades of pink or maybe in the family of violets of purple colors. Sometimes even the name misleads – some pinkish tones have red instead of pink in the name and some colors with names with pink don’t look pink at all (or at least not until you use a lot of imagination).
This group of lively pinks is all about action. It’s hard to imagine being surrounded by so energetic shades of pink but we can definitely use most of them as part of the decor at parties or in amusement parks.
We could continue with more groups of envigorating pink shades but it’s time to take a break. Well, before that, one of the most aggressive pinks (and in general most screaming colors in the universe) should be presented: neon pink with its HEX and RGB codes.
Neon Pink Color Code
I don’t know if this is good or bad news for you but neon pink is used as the name of numerous pink hues. You see, in the world of colors there is no definite global standard like there is in measuring weight or length, so every designer suggests his or her vision of a specific color as he or she perceives it.
Neon pink is one such color where we can find at least a dozen different standards and different HTML codes for the same name. It’s up to you to pick the most suitable one for your project.
Being on the indefinite line between red and white with so many possible additions of other primary colors, we can expect several names of pink shades where pink is combined with another color. In this case, when pink (red + white) is paired with another color (yellow and/or blue), the tones of pink are called off pink.
When somebody asks you what color is off pink you can answer that any pink with addition of one or two other primary colors. We can also call them pinkish colors. Here are a few examples for you.
#FBA0AC (251, 160, 172) Pinkish Red #E2718D (226, 113, 141) Red Pink #EC3B83 (236, 59, 131) Cerise Pink #DA3287 (218, 50, 135) Deep Cerise Pink #D10056 (209, 0, 86) Reddish Pink aka Rubine Red
All the pinks above are intensely red, so red (or red shades) is an expected part of the name. A lot of red (and some yellow and blue) leads to brown.
We came from reddish to more and more intensely brownish tones of pink. The last two actually have pink only in their names, so dark and muted they are. But we are not over yet. Here is another group of pink shades with other colors in their names.
Another question you may ask is about the difference between some of the above-presented pink shades and magenta. Yes, we got an answer, but you might not like it.
The name magenta is not limited to one color only. Here are a few examples:
Is magenta the same as pink? Yes and no. While pink necessarily consists of red and white, magenta needs blue as well. If you add some blue to pink, it’s still pink until it strays into a purple area. On the other hand, if you take blue out of magenta, it will lose its name and become one of numerous shades of pink.
So – when you are asked what is difference between pink and magenta, the correct answer is: every magenta belongs to the pink family, but not all pinks belong among magentas.
Magenta can be also included in the family of purple or violet shades (which, by the way, are not the same!) but to conclude this: Magenta is a shade of pink with a decent amount of blue (and magenta in its name).
If you are still not sure, just check the inscription on the label on the box.
Pink Colors Named After Countries
You got it right. Pink is so popular several countries share their names with this controversial color. And they are spread all over the world.
We went around the world with pinks, yet we still need to mention at least a few more cities intertwined with shades of pink.
#D7837F (215, 131, 127) New York Pink #F400A1 (244, 0, 161) Hollywood Cerise #D95D67 (217, 93, 103) Milano Pink #D9BFC5 (217, 191, 197) Venetian Pink #C07B9A (192, 123, 154) Dark Venetian Pink
There is more, of course. One day we might add a few more related (by name) hues but to make this article publishable as soon as possible, let’s put a few dozen of already discovered pinks aside and move on – to the largest (by far!) group of pink shades.
Pink Flowers
First things first – pink got its name after flowers, not vice versa. Flowers were blooming and being beautiful and colorful way before humans decided to name colors. Only after that, new and new names were needed (due to our excessive dependence on communication) and different flowers became parts of more or less official names of pink colors.
Yes, you got it right. Apparently, there is a difference between lavender pink and pink lavender. And lavender, by the way, is also a group of colors on its own. But let’s not stray from the subject and continue with more of the flowery pink tones.
Pink is one of the species (Dianthus plumarius) in the family Caryophyllaceae. Yet flowers are not the only species with pink blooms. Trees can have pink blossoms too. The same is true for aquatic plants like the lotus.
Fuchsia is another flower with pink blossoms. Its color is so distinctive and popular, a whole group of colors is actually named after fuchsia and one day we may provide a special article on fuchsia color only.
Yes, we finally arrived at the roses. They may be pink and are enjoyed in numerous pink shades. Many languages derived the name for the pink color from the rose and just like we saw at fuchsia there is a whole group of rose colors. This article may be written some day too, but for now, we invite you to read the symbolism of the different colors of roses.
Shades of Pink Roses with Codes
#C74375 (199, 67, 117) Fuchsia Rose #FF66CC (255, 102, 204) Rose Pink aka Rosy Pink #C08081 (192, 128, 129) Old Rose #FF5470 (255, 84, 112) Fiery Rose #FF33CC (255, 51, 204) Razzle Dazzle Rose
Roses are so widespread many of them (several hundred species with thousands of hybrids) got names after countries, so we made a group of rose pink colors with country names.
#FF033E (255, 3, 62) American Rose #A8516E (168, 81, 110) China Rose #FE28A2 (254, 40, 162) Persian Rose #F64A8A (246, 74, 138) French Rose #B57281 (181, 114, 129) Turkish Rose
The last group of rose pink shades provides some interesting combinations (salmon rose should be a surprise for most of us, right?), and here they are with examples and HTML codes.
#FBA0E3 (251, 160, 227) Lavender Rose #F4C2C2 (244, 194, 194) Tea Rose #B3446C (179, 68, 108) Raspberry Rose #E7968B (231, 150, 139) Salmon Rose #FFE4E1 (255, 228, 225) Misty Rose
From roses, we continue to bushes and trees with pinkish blossoms or wood.
Berries are very thankful when we try to find pinkish shades related to fruits. They are lively, somehow fragile, and tender at the same time. The next group is a bit more robust. Of course, they belong to the pink family too.
We already mentioned cerise which means cherry in French. Well, it looks like we have the Cerise Pink and Cherry Pink among the shades of pink and now you can compare both. You’ll be the judge which suits your perception of cherry pink.
Fruit is so popular thanks to its attractive colors and taste. Speaking of taste, pink plays an important part in the food area – especially sweets are closely associated with this sweet color.
Feeling hungry already? If Candy Pink, Bubblegum Pink, and Rose Bonbon (now you know the difference!) don’t satisfy your taste, you probably need something more caloric.
The pink color is obviously more than the appropriate color for sweets. There is even a shade of pink called Sweet Pink. Well, here we are again – different designers perceive this particular shade in different ways, so we provide a few examples of Sweet Pink with RGB and HEX values, together with their closest relative Sweetest Pink.
The most popular pinkish color is champagne pink which gives us another opportunity to check how designers see Champagne Pink. And yes, there is also Pink Champagne, so you can have even more choices.
Champagne Pink
You guessed it – again each web designer percieves champagne pink color a bit differently.
While the pink drinks mostly look soft and gentle, the world of animals offers some pretty powerful pink shades.
Pink Animals
Did you know a flamingo’s color depends on food? When captured they tend to become white, so food additives are a must in ZOO. At first, caught birds were fed with paprika but now synthetic additives became a standard.
The most well-known pink shade in this area is, of course, Flamingo Pink, which, again, varies, thanks to the eating possibilities of flamingos (they got the color of their feathers from food and this color inevitably changes from time to time). The other popular pink shade in the animal kingdom is the color of salmon.
Rose Pompadour got its name after the famous Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764), Mountbatten Pink after Lord Mountbatten (1900-1979), who used it during World War II, Gene Baker and Ron Miller were directors of the institute where Alexander Schauss studied the influence of specific pink shade on aggressive behavior, and Munsell Red is named after Albert Henry Munsell.
Wait a minute! And Fuchsia? Isn’t that pink shade named after the color of the flower fuchsia? Yes, it’s true. But the plant was named after botanist Leonard Fuchs!
Pink is for centuries associated with everything young, playful, unserious, and sometimes extravagant. It could be calming, yet we should never forget the showy, even glamorous effects of some pink shades.
It’s hard to imagine modern cosmetics with pink, so it’s only fair to name a few tints after the popular objects in this area. Everything possible to make a Lady!
Our out-of-this-world trip into pinks is concluded with two shades related to dance: Fandango Pink and Tango Pink which gives us an opportunity to smoothly slide into the world of feelings.
Yes, pink plays a huge role in personal feelings, spanning from playfulness to total romance.
Remember the phrase ‘looking through pink glasses’? Well, pink is in many of its shades related to optimism and seeing only the best in the world. Of course, when we are in love, pink glasses obviously come into play.
Additionally, pink is the color of gentleness, and tenderness, which brings us to the next group – pink colors, related to skin. Did you know, the first names for pink in Europe were actually words describing skin complexion? Of course, then the spectrum was not discovered yet. Artists and scientists believed pink is a shade of yellow, not red, so the transformation to the name, coming from flowers came much later.
Pink for Skin Complexion
If, for some reason, you need an HTML code for the color of human skin, here are a few ideas. Please note that the name of the color pink initially came from naming the complexion in countries with Caucasian people (Italy in the first place).
After groups of shades of skin and related stuff intertwined with the color pink, textiles come into play. Being so delicate and versatile color, it’s expected to find pink here as well.
But let’s not confine ourselves to soft, gentle, and generally pretty stuff only. Pink shades can act strong too. The next section is devoted to proverbially strong elements – metals.
After more or less precious metals, related to different pink shades, we can expand into less known characteristics of this versatile color. Of course, it’s generously present in the world of minerals and plays an important part in jewelry as well.
This is the end of the longest list of names for pink shades with HEX codes ever made in one article on this planet. If traffic (by traffic, we mean you, dear visitor!) proves to be high and engaging, soon we could expand the list with additional pink colors. 265 pinks from today can someday rise to over 300!
If you find this material useful, don’t hesitate to share it on your social media, blogs, etc. Stay pink!
Are you thinking about painting your interior pink? There are hundreds of quality pink paints on the market offering a wide range of pink shades we’ll going to explore in this article.
As you’ll see there are many bold and even showy pinks originally meant more as an accent than the full cover of the wall and there are also numerous calmer ones, sometimes only with a hint of pink paint colors among which you can find just perfect one for your room, no matter if it’s a living room or a study, for boys or girls, with full coverage or just for one of the walls in the room.
20 popular shades of pink paint with examples
Here are 80 different shades of pink paint produced by dozens of paint makers, all the major paint brands included. They are presented with HEX (HTML) and RGB codes, so you can imitate the desired effects on your computer or mobile screens before ending up with several gallons of paints of the wrong color.
Enjoy the voyage and think pink!
Blush Pink Paint
This is the stronger pink hue with a lot of red but also a significant percentage of green and blue (if we think of RGB standards), which leads to more orange or violet tones.
Blush pink paints can still stay true to the blush in their names if the end effect is less showy. Here are lighter tones of blush pinks which is obvious from their values of G and B). As you see, Valspar is a leading manufacturer in both ‘families’ of blush pinks.
If you like bright, energetic colors, hot pink paint might be the right choice for you. Again, it might be too strong for the painting of the whole room but you have countless options to combine it with a white ceiling (all strong and medium pinks pair perfectly with white) or use it just for a few stripes in the area of your choice.
#D5276A (213, 39, 106) ProMarker Hot Pink #FE00FE (254, 0, 254) FolkArt Bright Pink #F659A3 (246, 89, 163) FolkArt Hot Pink #BF536C (191, 83, 108) Taubmans Hot Pink / Bristol Hot Pink #CE5171 (206, 81, 113) Porter Paints Hot Pink Kiss / PPG Pittsburgh Paints Hot Pink Kiss
We are not done yet. More bright pink paints can be explored below. As you see, the perception of hot or bright by manufacturers varies from classic magenta to brown on one and baby pink on the other side.
Bright Pink Paint
AB4673 (171, 70, 115) Behr Hot Pink 77374C (119, 55, 76) Earthpaint Hot Pink F8C0CE (248, 192, 206) FolkArt Bright Baby Pink FF78CB (255, 120, 203) Crayola Hot Pink EEBFCE (238, 191, 206) Devoe Paint Hot Pink
Please note that bright and hot are perceived as petty much the same in the industry.
Candy Pink Paint
We still have a plethora of lively and energetic pinks to check, yet not necessarily so intensive colors as above. Candy pink paints took their names from pinkish-colored candies which immediately bring memories of amusement parks, garden parties, and other carefree moments of pure happiness.
While pink color doesn’t necessarily suit everybody we can’t deny such lively shades are a guarantee against boredom. So let’s compare another set of candy pink paints.
Metallic paints are so aggressive they are in most cases used only as an addition to other paints to achieve some specific effect. They are also a valuable addition to areas in theme parks and similar entertainment venues. Metallic pink and neon pink belong to the same family with very intensive red with a flashy look which, as already said is not always used as it is, but added to other paints to create custom colors.
Or, if you want, you can make only a vertical strike with one of the presented neon pink paints somewhere close to the top of the otherwise pale-colored wall.
Pink Flamingo Paint
Flamingoes symbolize beauty, grace, and romance. The birds got their characteristic color of feathers from carotenoids produced by algae, the main staple of brine shrimps which are the main source of food for flamingoes.
Depending on the percentage of carotenoids, the balance of diet of specific flamingos, and of course other factors, the color may vary from intensive orange or red to relatively pale pink.
Pink flamingoes are another story. A decorative idea of a plastic pink flamingo as a lawn ornament is today closely associated with Florida yet it comes from Leominster, Massachusetts, the self-proclaimed plastic capital of the world. Some love it, some hate it, just like the color pink. But like it or not, it’s iconic and part of our cultural history.
Light Pink Paint
Lighter shades of pink paint are way more popular for painting walls than stronger hues. So we should not be surprised to find even more options of interior paints in light pink to choose from.
#F2DBDE (242, 219, 222) Valspar Paint Light Pink #FAB4D8 (250, 180, 216) Apple Barrel Light Pink / 20535 #FABFBF (250, 191, 191) Apple Barrel Light Pink / 44844E #FFCDD8 (255, 205, 216) Benjamin Moore Light Chiffon Pink #FFE1E2 (255, 225, 226) California Paints Pristine Pink
As you can see above, Apple Barrel offers two paints with the same name differing by the numbers at the end of the name.
Lighter shades of pink are easily accentuated with subtones of yellow to enliven the space or greyish additions which make the areas calmer. Alone or in a variety of combinations these paints can be used for interiors and exteriors, virtually for every place you might want to paint.
Before we continue with more soft tones of pink, it’s good to know, we created a dedicated article about light pink paint so you can find even more examples of this popular color.
Pale Pink Paint
As the name suggests, we are dealing with calm colors, suitable for living places, where you can hang out with friends, eat meals, study, exercise, or rest, just about everything you might imagine.
#FEDCE7 (254, 220, 231) ProMarker Pale Pink #EDD1C2 (237, 209, 194) Dulux Australia Pale Pink #F7D7CC (247, 215, 204) Benjamin Moore Pale Pink Satin #FCE2D5 (252, 226, 213) Taubmans Pale Petal Pink #F9E9E6 (249, 233, 230) Vista Paint Pale Perfection
Pale pinks are another popular choice for a variety of interiors and there are many great options on the market.
Dusty Pink Paint
We are still not over with lighter shades of pink paint. The industry interchangeably uses names dusty and dusky pinks which means we have a whole family of lighter pinkish paints with greyish addition which makes the end result on the wall very peaceful with a typical matte finish.
The family of greyish pinks is always in demand yet there is currently no paint on the market bearing such a name. So we choose from the numerous options and create a group of five typical greyish-pink paints where you can start from.
Coral is another iffy color. Should we treat it as orange or pink? Maybe even a subfamily of red? Anyways, the paint manufacturers offer several paints with the color pink in their names, and here is an example for you.
Brown Color Names – 130 Shades with HEX and RGB Values
The color brown is the least popular color of all. There are many reasons for that and being so ordinary is probably the most obvious. Formally, it’s a tertiary color which means we can make it by mixing all three primary colors: yellow, red, and blue. Or, if we stay in RGB model: red and green.
While it’s very hard to find a person who will declare brown as his or her favorite color, we still can’t do without it. After all, brown, the color of the earth, is the most natural of all colors in the world. Depending on the shade, there are numerous (more than a thousand!) brown colors that can be mixed with different degrees of red, yellow, and blue with the addition of white or black to doctor the tint.
It’s our mission to present this interesting color which is unjustly omitted from the company logos and other graphics meant to attract our intention and sympathies. At the moment there are 130 different colors of brown sorted by logical groups, depending on their names and origins. We already have more than 100 additional shades waiting to be processed by our designers and introduced to the world.
Enjoy the already-shown brown colors and stay tuned for more!
Color Brown with values by different standards
What, exactly, is perceived as color brown?
#964B00 (150, 75, 0) Brown #993300 (153,51,0) Brown (Web Safe) #794E3E (121, 77, 62) Brown (RAL) #AF593E (175, 89, 62) Brown (Crayola) #3A1F04 (58, 31, 4) Brunette
As you can see, our perception of ‘perfect’ brown differs from one standard to another. So we have many colors with a simple name: brown. Yes, brunette means brown in French. It’s up to you which of the browns above you’ll perceive as yours truly brown.
Dark Brown Colors
When we say brown, our first image is probably one of the darker tones. We’ll see many of them, her is just an example of five dark brown shades with the name directly insinuating they are dark.
#5C4033 (92, 64, 51) Dark Brown #654321 (101, 67, 33) Dark Brown (color-meanings) #410200 (65, 2, 0) Deep Brown #73624A (115, 98, 74) Heavy Brown #403330 (64, 51, 48) Night Brown
Despite the fact it’s always a strong, authoritative tone, dark brown can be very warm and comforting, which depends on the used red in the mixture. These colors are among the most used hair dyes.
Lighter Colors of Brown
The light brown color is also widespread in nature. It’s the color of several wood types, different fruits of nature, types of wheat, …
#7F5112 (127, 81, 18) Medium Brown #876E4B (135, 110, 75) Dull Brown #B7825F (183, 130, 95) Soft Brown #B5651D (181, 101, 29) Light Brown #B1907F (177, 144, 127) Pastel Brown
If you compare the codes for darker and lighter shades of brown, you’ll see the values of red and green are significantly higher, while the values for blue are also higher but not to the same extent. Most of the colors above are warm and easy on the eye which makes them a popular choice for coloring the elements of our homes, like walls, or everyday lives, like cloth.
We’ll find many more lighter tones of brown a bit later.
Brown Color Names, Combined with Other Colors
Next set of names is a bit iffy yet we’ll present them anyway.
#A52A2A (51, 24, 0) Red-Brown #34080E (52, 8, 14) Scarlet Brown #BC8F8F (188, 143, 143) Rosy Brown #C27E79 (194,126,121) Pinkish Brown #9E4638 (158, 70, 56) Coral Brown
We already know the importance of the percentage of each primary color in the mix leading to brown color. Often one of the primaries dominates what can lead to the name. Yet, it’s good to know, there are many standards for naming the colors, so you’ll very likely find two colors with the same name but different HEX codes or with the same color values but totally different names.
#B16002 (177, 96, 2) Orange Brown #996515 (153, 101, 21) Golden Brown #696112 (105, 97, 18) Greenish Brown #7F7053 (127, 112, 83) Gray Brown #7A6A4F (122, 106, 79) Grayish Brown
Due to its warmth and energy orange-brown color above is one of the most popular brown shades. It’s used especially as a hair color and as a color of smaller elements of living rooms.
#922B05 (146, 43, 5) Brown Red #8D8468 (141, 132, 104) Brown Gray #565044 (86, 80, 68) Brown Gray (RAL) #AB814F (171, 129, 79) Brown Beige #DFD0C0 (223, 208, 192) Brown Cream
This set of names is still made of combinations with other colors but with the other color as the second in the name. Gray, in all its variations, is the most frequent in this case. We can actually play with different tones of brown just adding a bit of white or black, creating dozens of interesting results suitable for our projects.
The family of brown colors named as combinations with other colors ends with a set of brownish colors with their codes. We can look at them as primary or secondary colors with an addition of brown (in practice this means an addition of some other primary or secondary), but they are still all brown colors by definition.
Brown Color Names Related to Plants
Many elements of plants are brown. Wood is probably the first association coming to one’s mind. Here is a set of five shades of wood brown color to start.
#C19A6B (193, 154, 107) Wood Brown #402F1D (64, 47, 29) Wood Brown (Louisem) #855E42 (133, 94, 66) Dark Wood #DEB887 (222, 184, 135) Burlywood #CEBAA8 (206, 186, 168) Firewood
As we see, something seemingly as simple as a wood color code can already provide a challenge to the designer. There are so many shades available, we definitely need more data, than just the name. And this is just the beginning.
Tan Color Codes
Tan is a very light shade of brown. The name comes from the Latin tannum, which means oak bark. Oak bark was traditionally used for tanning leather. As you’ll see even this specific shade of brown can be derived in more ‘sub-shades’.
#D2B48C (210, 180, 140) Tan #988558 (152, 133, 88) Dark Tan #A75502 (167, 85, 2) Windsor Tan #C4915E (196,145,94) Mid Tan #ECDEC9 (236, 222, 201) Light Tan
Tan has several synonyms: tawny, fulvous, tenne. As expected, we can find even more shades of tan in this family. Compare them and try to spot a difference between both Pantone Tawny Brown colors. They also share their names with only one letter being different. Looking at their RGB codes, it’s obvious the shares of red and green are very close in both cases with the percentage of blue being only slightly more different.
For good measure, we also added the color Leather Brown, which is directly related to tan and tanning.
Let’s continue with more tones of brown, related to wood.
#C04000 (192, 64, 0) Mahogany #806517 (128, 101, 23) Oak Brown #4B3A26 (75, 58, 38) Cedar #351E10 (53, 30, 16) Hickory #645452 (100, 84, 82) Wenge
Above you can compare different shades of brown, associated with specific types of trees. Wenge is probably the most exotic among them. Yet, if you got seriously involved in buying furniture, this dark brown shade will probably pop up very soon. Originally, it’s the name of a very dark brown, almost black wood of a sort of tree (Millettia laurentii) growing in West Africa. Yet we can also compare this color with Cedar and Hickory which are even daker.
A huge family of chestnuts brings some of the most popular shades of warm dark brown colors, especially in demand for hair dying. While it’s interesting to compare colors of chestnut and maroon (very close in a botanical sense, but not the same), it’s probably intriguing to compare both with other fruits.
If you want to find even more colors named after chestnut and maroon, check the article about red shades.
In contrast, we have also choose two extremes: very small fruit such as a raisin (dry grape) and huge coconut. But this is not all. Many more brown fruits can be found in nature and some of them are presented below together with HTML (HEX) codes and RGB values.
Almond is another great example of how the naming of brown shades very fast becomes complex and in many cases too demanding even for color experts. Even if we find a consensus on the sort of almond in a specific phase of maturity, we will very likely sooner or later make some kind of impact on it. In the case of almonds, we treat them with heat, of course.
#5B3A29 (91, 58, 41) Hazelnut Brown #D2691E (210, 105, 30) Cocoa Brown #48260D (72, 38, 13) Pecan #795C32 (121, 92, 50) Peanut #AF642B (175, 100, 43) Date Fruit Brown
Family of Brown Food-Related Shades
Nature is loaded with edible products and already-presented fruits (many of them being brown or at least brownish!) are a great start to dive into samples of colors, closely associated with foods.
We have already mentioned cocoa. So why don’t we start with chocolate?
Or shall we say chocolates?
#7B3F00 (123, 63, 0) Chocolate #9E5B40 (158, 91, 64) Bitter Chocolate #352620 (53, 38, 32) Dark Chocolate #A86E53(168, 110, 83) Milk Chocolate #EDE6D6 (237, 230, 214) White Chocolate Color
After cocoa, we definitely couldn’t skip the family of chocolate brown colors. We could probably find at least a few dozen of more brown shades with chocolate-related names but for this article, it’s probably better to continue with other edibles.
Bread and its’ cousins, tortilla included, is one of them.
While we are at basic foods, we can’t skip the meat and meat-related products. You got it right. Brown color in several different hues, tints, and shades, is influential in this sector too!

Caramel Brown, Anybody?
If you are in the mood for something sweet, sugar can be brown as well. We have already mentioned how shades of brown change when we apply some heat and sugar is no exception. Even if we start with perfectly white chrystals we soon got lovely brownish tones as a result of the dehydration of carbon hydrate.
This led us to caramel and related edibles.

Sweet liquids don’t end here. Apart from caramel, we need to address at least maple syrup and honey, right? And, of course, both pair perfectly with butter leading to more interesting brownish shades.

We have more than a dozen brown food-related colors with codes in our depository, waiting to be sorted in groups, but at the moment, it’s time to end the journey through brownish colors of food.
How about a drink?
Brown Color Names Named After Drinks
There are many brown drinks out there and coffee is probably at the top of the list. Coffee, in its countless versions which are getting even more numerous each and every day. Even if we call it black coffee, we always deal with more or less dark shades of brown.
Here is a set of the first five coffee brown shades.
#6F4E37 (111, 78, 55) Coffee #704241 (112, 66, 65) Deep Coffee #4B3621 (75, 54, 33) Cafe Noir #4A2C2A (74, 44, 42) Brown Coffee #38250E (56, 37, 14) Espresso Brown
There are as many versions of coffee as there are coffee drinkers. some prefer a quick shot of energy, while others enjoy sipping it. some want it black (meaning without anything in the cup except the coffee), and others add sugar, milk, cream, and even alcoholic drinks.
Some sorts of coffee became so popular they expanded from local curiosities to true ambassadors of their inventors. Here we go with a second set of coffee colors with HEX and RGB codes.
Milk and dairy products such as cream or ice cream are an especially popular addition to coffee drinks which already vary by brown shades depending on the sort of coffee beans and type of preparation. We can add just a few drops of milk or we can go to the other extreme, finishing with just a hint of coffee in milk.
The last set of coffee brown colors for designers, coffee lovers, and all curious people who want to learn something new has an addition of Frappe Color, which expands a whole new set of possibilities in the area of browns. We also included Chicory which is widely used as a coffee substitute.
We are done with beverages for now and ready to conclude our journey in the land of brown-colored drinks. Champagne, whiskey, and brandy should also be included in the list. Recently especially the family of Champagne colors is in high demand, as we can see, among other examples in this list of light pink paint colors.
This is the end of the article for time being. Expect some more browns to be added in the future. The world of animals, minerals, or just everyday objects offers many many more!
If you learned something interesting and useful, share it with others. Bye!
Light pink paints are a classic choice for painting interiors for many years and their popularity is growing. Pink paint, especially pale, muted tones, goes great with almost all other colors and gives us countless possible combinations for creating a unique feel for every imaginable home.
Due to its soothing, feminine effect, pastel pink paints found their way to living rooms and bedrooms, and are one of the first choices for painting the walls of girls’ bedrooms and studies. Did you know that certain hues of pink paint are used in correctional institutions to calm down the aggressiveness of the prisoners?
By definition soft pink paint color is made of some red and a lot of white. The more white, the more soft pink color we’ll achieve. To play a bit with the warmth of the final result, some yellow and blue may be added as well.
Let’s take a look at the light pink paints available on the market with examples and HEX and RGB codes.
Pale Pink Paint Colors for Walls
Pale pinks are by definition pink colors with a lot of white pigment. White is so dominant that pink can be seen only as an undertone.
#FAE3DD (250, 227, 221) Behr Soft Pink #FDEBE5 (253, 235, 229) Peintures MF Chaleur / Benjamin Moore Soft Pink #F7EBE7 (247, 235, 231) Asian Paints Pearly Pink / Rodda Paint Soft Shell / Cloverdale Paint Soft Shell #F9E9E6 (249, 233, 230) Scib Paints Pale Perfection / Vista Paint Pale Perfection / Berger Pale Perfection / Behr Hush Pink #F6EAE5 (246, 234, 229) Wattyl Fairy White / Asian Paints Divine Pink / Rodda Paint Pale Petals / Cloverdale Paint Pale Petals
Paint makers sometimes use a bit poetic names for their products, yet it’s obvious they all offer almost the same thing – soft, calming paints with a bit of pink which gives some warmth to your room walls.
You already noticed light and pale are often used interchangeably, even though they differ by definition – light can be much more energetic and at least in theory made without the addition of white. Yet in practice both groups of pinkish paints often overlap and to make our lives even more interesting, paint factories describe their colors with soft and pastels as well.
#F8EAE3 (248, 234, 227) Benjamin Moore Shell Pink #F3E2E6 (243, 226, 230) Benjamin Moore Ballerina Pink #F5EAE7 (245, 234, 231) Benjamin Moore Pink Bliss #F7E7E1 (247, 231, 225) Behr My Sweetheart #F7E1DC (247, 225, 220) Sherwin-Williams Laurel Pink
Benjamin Moore is one of the most popular paint producers and their family of pink paints is in constant demand. In the set of paints above you can compare three of their products with two different (and also extremely popular) makers of pink wall paints: Behr and Sherwin-Williams. Both of them are represented below as well.
Some soft pink paints have a slightly yellowish feel which makes them even warmer and livelier. They are, of course, very neutral and great to paint with more powerful colors for furniture, decor, and other surfaces.
#F0EBE9 (240, 235, 233) Designers Guild Frost / Behr White Dogwood #EAE6DE (234, 230, 222) Scib Paints White Now! / 8476 / Porter Paints Dogwood Blossom / Vista Paint White Now! / Berger White Now! / PPG Pittsburgh Paints Dogwood Blossom #E8E4DB (232, 228, 219) Asian Paints White Delight / CIL Kitten White / Olympic Dogwood Blossom #F3ECEA (243, 236, 234) Behr Touch of the Pink #EFE5E4 (239, 229, 228) Olympic Bare Pink / Taubmans Iris Haze
This is the last set of pale pink paint colors, called barely pink paints. Some makers don’t even use the word pink in their names and rather go for plants or even animals. We will continue with a bit more intensive light pink paints for interiors.
Soft Pink Paint
We are still in the huge and popular family of light pink paints but the next few sets will perform significantly warmer thanks to greater values of red pigment in the mixture. For starters, let’s see what Benjamin Moore has to offer:
#FDE8E6 (253, 232, 230) Benjamin Moore Touch Of Pink #FFCDD8 (255, 205, 216) Benjamin Moore Light Chiffon Pink #FAE7E9 (250, 231, 233) Benjamin Moore Elephant Pink #FDE7E4 (253, 231, 228) Benjamin Moore Powder Pink #FACBD0 (250, 203, 208) Benjamin Moore Pastel Pink
Benjamin Moore offers a huge selection of pinkish paints for walls, differentiating by gentle hues of reddish, yellowish, and bluish undertones. All are very popular due to their ability to pair with other paint colors.
The next set offers a few pink paints with champagne in their names. While we all expect a bit of yellow in those colors, you’ll find a few champagne pink paint colors in the next groups of paints, where other hues are present.
Here we go with another set of light pink paints available by different paint makers. They look petty similar, yet each one of them with a special feeling that you can create in your bedroom, living room, or other places in your home. All are warm, optimistic, and energetic like modern users expect from wall paints.
#FFE9E4 (255, 233, 228) Brighto Paints Rose Pink #F7DBD9 (247, 219, 217) Behr Princess Pink #EED2D4 (238, 210, 212) Glidden Princess Pearl Pink #FDE0DB (253, 224, 219) Rodda Paint My Sweetheart / Cloverdale Paint My Sweetheart #FDE0DD (253, 224, 221) Scib Paints My Sweetheart / Vista Paint My Sweetheart / Berger My Sweetheart
Ever heard about millennial pink paint? Well, the term was coined in the late 2010s and is used for a whole family of light pink shades. While you’ll find an html code for millennial pink color #F3CFC6 and RGB (243, 207, 198), the producers of paints got several ideas on how should millennial pink actually look on the wall.
Here is a set of millennial pink paints made by Sherwin-Williams.
The tones of millennial pink vary from gentle pink to more yellowish, greyish, and blueish hues. The assortment is, obviously, much wider when we take into account, other paint makers. Maybe we’ll present some of them in the future.
Blush Pink Paint
Blush pink paints are bolder colors with more intense red tones. They are cozy, inviting, and invigorating. Modern interior designers use them for smaller places like closets, laundry rooms, powder rooms, and home offices.
Because pink, especially lighter hues, pairs so well with neutrals, like beige, cream, ivory, and similar whiteish colors, we have virtually infinite possibilities to create a space according to our wishes. Sometimes the ceiling is painted with the same light paint color, sometimes only three-quarters of the walls are covered and the top (together with a ceiling) is left white, to make an optical illusion of larger or higher space.
Again, paint factories use sometimes pretty poetical names for their products. Powder pink paint is actually a conservative solution, while Princess Pink or Ballerina Pink clearly alludes to the girlish feel of the result.
Pale Pink Paint Colors With Yellowish Hues
The next group of light pink paints has a distinctive addition of yellowish tones. This makes them live, energetic, and optimistic.
Those pastel pink paint colors are great for living rooms, playrooms, or other places where we spend a lot of time or hang out with visitors. They can be used in very different ways depending on the lighting conditions.
If we compare, for instance, Elephant Pink and Hint of Pink, we notice that we are dealing with colors similar to champagne pinks, but with less intensive yellow. This muted effect has a calming effect, which can be used for all places where we want to relax. Or maybe meditate?
This group of yellowish pink paints, made by slightly less known paint makers is a bit brighter, with a more playful effect. Several paints use the word cream in their names insinuating soft whitish yellowish tones.
Rose Pink Paint
If yellowish pinks make you feel more energetic, more orange tones give you determination and power. The next few groups of paints still belong to light pinks yet they are the most intense so far. The reason is a higher percentage of red pigment which, with an addition of yellow, create a fresh and flowery or fruity feeling.
Orange-pink paints also come on the market in numerous variations, from bolder almost orange to gentler almost greyish-white tones. The producers found inspiration everywhere, from nature and geography to breakfast food and personal cosmetic products.
The next group of orangey-pink paints is the palest pink in the family. Five different popular brand marks offer relatively similar neutral pink paints with clear orange undertones. All presented colors pair great with numerous darker colors.
#F8DBCF (248, 219, 207) Taubmans Pink Bliss #F9E9E4 (249, 233, 228) Benjamin Moore Cream Puff #FCE8E1 (252, 232, 225) Farrow & Ball Middleton Pink #EFDED8 (239, 222, 216) Sherwin-Williams White Dogwood #F6E2D7 (246, 226, 215) Duron Alluring White / Behr Island Hopping / Farrow & Ball Pink Ground
More Neutral Pink Paint Examples
We have already explored soft pink paints with only a hint of pink, with an addition of yellow or orange, and stronger tones of pink. It’s time to see if there are even more pastel pink paints on the market.
Yes, of course, there are many other popular products in this area. The next few sets of paints look a bit more brownish, even earthy, which gives us countless opportunities for usage in interiors and exteriors.
#E5C9BC (229, 201, 188) Pratt & Lambert King’s Arms Rose Pink Medium Light #D2AD9F (210, 173, 159) Pratt & Lambert King’s Arms Rose Pink #F5D6BF (245, 214, 191) Taubmans Soft Pink / Bristol Soft Pink #F2D9CC (242, 217, 204) Benjamin Moore Love & Happiness #EDD1C2 (237, 209, 194) Dulux Australia Pale Pink
All presented pink pants are soft, pale, and light, with a hint of yellow and some green which makes them a bit brownish, sometimes edging on beige or cream which are classic choices for painting the walls for many many years.
The group of pinkish paints above is interesting for their diversity. While all give an earthy, muted appearance, they are obviously very contrasting. While Posh Pink from Wattyl looks almost purple, we could easily characterize Elizabethan by Devoe Paint as white.
Speaking of white, check the next group of very light pink paints.
Is There the Palest Pink Paint?
#E7DDDE (231, 221, 222) Glidden Wood Anemone Pink / Dulux Pale Peony #EBD4CE (235, 212, 206) Brighto Paints Day Dawn / Behr Ole Pink #DEB2AF (222, 178, 175) Dulux Australia Princess Pink #FBE1DE (251, 225, 222) Taubmans Pink Peony / Bristol Pink Peony $DFCFD1 (223, 207, 209) Levis Gentle Peony / CIL Nouvelle Pink
While technically all the colors above belong to orangeish pinks, we are definitely still dealing with pale pinks with orange subtones. These paints are very neutral and can be used almost universally.
More Blush Pink Paints Examples
We have already presented several blush pink paint colors. They all have a bit of blue which makes pink purplish. This leads to a more dramatic, yet sweet effect. Blush paints are a popular choice for walls in different interiors, from living rooms to bedrooms. We selected lighter shades varying from creamy and greyish to magenta and mauve shades.
While Behr, Benjamin Moore, Farrow and Ball, Sherwin-Williams, and Valspar dominate the market, we made an effort to present some other paint makers as well. All these paint colors pair well with blue and green paints, but they can look especially great with glass and metal.
We are ending this article about light pink paint colors for the moment. Just for the moment. Because there are dozens of interesting, inspiring, and inviting paints already on the market with always something new to explore. So expect more in the future, because pale pinks are here to stay!
Roses are by far the most popular flowers in the world. Their gentle petals and sharp thorns make an instant dramatic impact. Roses’ colors tell many interesting stories which evolve through time and cultures. We can’t imagine Valentine’s day without them.
But there’s a catch. What does the color of a specific rose actually tell? Is there a difference if you send a single rose or a bouquet? Are red roses saying the same, no matter the shade? We intend to provide you at least a basic insight into the fascinating world of roses’ colors and their sometimes obvious but in many cases very subtle meanings connected with often very complicated symbolism.
At the end of this article, you should be able to understand the message of the rose you are sending or receiving. You should also know how to paint a rose (learn how to draw a rose here) and effectively use it as an authentic gift or a decorative element in a design.
For starters, we’ll provide facts about ten different colors of roses and their meanings. We have already prepared material for at least half a dozen more rose colors in near future, so don’t think about this article as a complete story yet. It will expand soon. And it will probably continue to expand for many more years …
Meanings of Red Roses
Red roses tell a story about desire, longing, love, and passion. What a bouquet of red roses says instead of the sender? ‘I love you!’ Deeper the color, the more ready you are for a committed relationship.

Meanings of Pink Roses
What is the meaning of pink roses? While the red color of the roses reveals more intense feelings, the sender of the pink roses tries to disclose something gentler, and more sensible. Pink is for admiration, appreciation, elegance, and sweetness.
Of course, there are numerous shades, hues, and tints of pink roses as well.

White Rose – It’s Color Meaning
What’s the meaning of white roses? They suggest chastity, innocence, loyalty, and purity. White is the color of a new beginning but also farewells, so it’s perfect for weddings. A bouquet of white roses sends a message of recognition. ‘Yes, I am thinking about you!’

The Meaning of Yellow Rose
Yellow roses are all about happiness and joy. When you send yellow roses to somebody you are celebrating life at its best moments. A yellow rose is probably the least romantic of all and the most suitable for sending to a platonic friend. It simply says: ‘Thanks for making me happy!’
#FFF000 (255, 240, 0) Yellow Rose #EFBF4D (239, 191, 77) Adonis Rose Yellow #FAEDC8 (250, 237, 200) Muralo Yellow Rose #FFDB75 (255, 219, 117) CIL Yellow Rose / Devoe Paint Yellow Rose / Olympic Beach Ball #FFD76E (255, 215, 110) ICI Paints Yellow Rose / Coronado Paint Country Sun
Did you know yellow roses symbolized jealousy in the 19th century? Getting a bouquet of yellow roses was a public accusation of betrayal or infidelity! It’s not clear how the meaning changed through time, yet it’s probably related to a simple fact – the message in most cases tells more about the sendee than the sender. Somebody who opted for a yellow rose showed himself or herself as a greedy and jealous person.
The role of the messager of such a negative image is nowadays somehow portrayed by a yellow hyacinth.

Orange Rose Meaning
Orange roses communicate energy, fascination, and pride. Orange is a color of enthusiasm, perfect to express admiration to somebody. An orange rose can motivate you too, especially if you want to congratulate somebody on a certain achievement.
A bouquet of orange roses tells: ‘Great work. Keep it up!’
#DB7146 (219, 113, 70) Matthews Paint Orange Rose #F9EDE0 (249, 237, 224) Behr Apricot Rose #EF8957 (239, 137, 87) Valspar Paint Tomato Rose #EB8B6E (235, 139, 110) Valspar Paint Amber Rose #E98575 (233, 133, 117) Dulux Gypsy Rose
Meaning of Peach Rose
Peach is a shade of orange color. It’s actually a whole family of colors among a larger group. Peach orange colors are so influential they differ from the ‘normal’ orange (although we all know how many details can we find in there).
So, what’s the meaning of peach roses? They send a message of gratitude and sincerity. They are not so often used in romantic connotations as to a friend or a relative, especially to younger ones.
If you simply want to say: ‘Thank you!’, peach roses are the way to go.

Green Color Rose Meaning
Green is the color of fertility, harmony, health, and stability. Green roses are rare, yet more and more popular, so we’ll probably see more of them soon. On a symbolic level, they are great to send somebody with best wishes for good health.
A green rose sends a message of hope and recovery.
#DBF9DB (219, 249, 219) Light Rose Green #292D74 (41, 45, 116) Blue Rose #7D7CC0 (125, 124, 192) Rose Blue #5C798A (92, 121, 138) Transmitter Shop Rose Blue #B2B3CA (178, 179, 202) Dulux Blue Rose
As you can see, we managed to find only one green color officially connected to roses, and four for blue roses.
The obvious question is: what do blue roses mean? The meaning of blue roses is extrapolated from their extraordinariness. They represent lust, mystery, and unrequited love. When you know your love will never be fulfilled, a blue flower will say: ‘I love you even if it’s not meant to be.’
Black Rose Meaning
Black is the color of death but also represents authority, certainty, and confidence. Traditionally black roses were sent to enemies (especially very personal, even intimate ones) as a death wish, but nowadays this changed.
A black rose can send very positive messages, like: ‘I am over it. I am ready to move on. Although there is no more us, I believe in myself.’
#1C0506 (28, 5, 6) Black Rose Color (Color-Name) #532934 (83, 41, 52) Black Rose (Crispedge) #74053C (116, 5, 60) Black Rose (Hexcolor) #532934 (83, 41, 52) Resene Black Rose #88474E (136, 71, 78) Sico Black Rose
Did you spot the differences between black shades named after black roses? Black roses are rare like green and blue ones, so they are also connected to the mystery. So when you wanna say: ‘I am out of your life, and you’ll never know what you missed.’, a black rose can tell this instead of you.
