Popular Paint Colors for a Little Girl's Room

Pink

• Pink is an obvious choice for a girl's room. If you want to try something different from traditional pink, you might be interested in fuchsia. Younger girls might feel more comfortable with lighter shades of pink, but teenagers may be drawn toward more bold colors, such as raspberry. Pair pink shades with similar contrasting shades for an appealing aesthetic. Bubblegum pink and lime green, or pink and brown are options.

Purple

• Like its neighbor, pink, on the color wheel, purple is available in many shades. Purple can be bold or demure, much like little girls, so pick the shade that suits her style and you'll have a winning room she'll love. A dark shade of purple might be too much for the walls, but it's a winner in window treatments and bed coverings. Violet is ideal for a room decorated with butterflies and fairies. For a nice contrast, try purple with orange and brown, or green and white.

Yellow

• Yellow is bright and it works with many decorating styles. Depending on the shade of yellow you pick, you can have a warming essence or a slice of a sunny day. For a modest room, use pale shades of yellow with peach and white. If your girl wants something with a little more pop, try bright yellow and green. Yellow and hot pink combinations are dramatic, while yellow and white combinations are more subdued.

Orange

• Orange is a happy color full of energy, which makes it perfect for a girl's room. A variety of shades ensures you won't be stuck with anything boring. For a soft aesthetic, go with peach or coral. Pair apricot with cream for an enveloping room. If a retro room is in order, bring hues of brown and yellow into the mix. In similar shades, orange, purple and white create a fun atmosphere.
