Uses for the Color Pink

Home Decor

• The femininity of the color pink makes it a perfect choice for decorating a nursery or bedroom for a young girl. Paint the walls your favorite shade and add pink carpet or throw rugs, bedding, curtains and even furniture. Pink accessories, such as throw pillows, add style to other rooms of the house that are painted in neutral shades such as brown, beige, white and black. Use dark, warm shades of pink in adult bedrooms to encourage romance.

Fashion

• Incorporate the color pink into your fashion choices. Adding pops of it to monochromatic outfits is trendy and stylish; pair black or white clothing with pink accessories such as shoes, scarves or handbags. A pink dress or skirt is a fashion statement suitable for spring and summer, while you can wear a pink coat, gloves or boots in the colder months. While pale, understated tones are more appropriate for adults, dress little girls in bright, patterned pink tops and bottoms.

Weddings

• Use pink in your wedding as part of your color scheme. Since pink is a soothing color associated with love and romance, it's a perfect choice for your big day. You can use pink in your wedding decorations in many ways, such as in your centerpieces, table and chair covers, place cards, and flowers. Pair pink with white, pale yellow or pale green to give your wedding a light, summery feel or with a dark color, such as black or chocolate brown, for a more classic, sophisticated look.

Food

• Pink food is appealing and often associated with sweetness. Serve a pink dessert on a romantic occasion such as an anniversary or special date. Throw a pink-themed party for your daughter and her friends where they can bake and decorate cookies and cupcakes with pink icing, sprinkles and edible glitter. Pink food is also perfect for Valentine's Day; serve pink desserts at home to commemorate the occasion or bring a cake frosted with pink icing and accompanied by strawberry ice cream to a Valentine's Day event.
