Piggy PinkHex #FDDDE6RGB 253, 221, 230CMYK 0, 13, 9, 1

Deep Pink

This color’s name might make you think of a dark, calm pink, but Deep Pink looks a lot like an intense near-neon. This color pops against black, making it an excellent choice for accents on athletic wear, flyers, or any application where you want to get someone’s attention.

Deep PinkHex #FF1493RGB 255, 20, 147CMYK 0, 92, 42, 0

Wild StrawberryHex #FF43A4RGB 255, 67, 164CMYK 0, 74, 36, 0

Razzmatazz

This warm, magenta-rich pink can add some energy to any project. As a variant of raspberry pink, it’s especially well-suited to summer-inspired designs. As you can see from the CMYK values, it has larger amounts of yellow and magenta than many pink shades.

RazzmatazzHex #E3256BRGB 227, 37, 107CMYK 0, 84, 53, 11

Rose Taupe

Sometimes you need a shade of pink that effectively works as a neutral. And as the name suggests, Rose Taupe sits right between a rosy pink and a sandy taupe. It works well alongside other pale neutrals, and it also makes a stately border on stationery, cards, and invitations.

Rose TaupeHex #905D5DRGB 144, 93, 93CMYK 0, 35, 35, 44

Rubine Red

Rubine means “ruby,” and this pink shade certainly has the presence of a gemstone. While this color is described as being red, it’s more of a magenta-heavy pink. It’s a great choice if you want a reddish pink that’s bright without being neon.

Rubine RedHex #D10056RGB 209, 0, 86CMYK 0, 100, 59, 18

Hollywood CeriseHex #F400A1RGB 244, 0, 161CMYK 0, 100, 34, 4

Mexican Pink

Mexican PinkHex #E4007CRGB 228, 0, 124CMYK 0, 100, 46, 11

Steel Pink

This interestingly named color has a somewhat metallic look about it. It’s one of the pink shades named and used by Crayola. It first appeared in a set of colored pencils. Steel Pink is a great choice if you like magenta but would prefer something that’s a little darker and more subdued.

Steel PinkHex #CC3366RGB 204, 51, 102CMYK 0, 75, 50, 20

This dusty shade of pink does get somewhat close to the color of rose gold used in jewelry. It looks especially nice beside ivory and pale gray.

MulberryHex #C54B8CRGB 197, 75, 140CMYK 0, 62, 29, 23

Razzle Dazzle RoseHex #FF33CCRGB 255, 51, 204CMYK 0, 80, 20, 0

PuceHex #CC8899RGB 204, 136, 153CMYK 0, 33, 25, 20

Old Rose

Old Rose is one of the many muted, mauve-like shades of pink out there. The name is especially fitting, as it’s very similar to the color of a pink rose as it starts to wilt. Its vintage appeal makes it ideal for historically-inspired projects. It’s also a great accent color against paler neutrals like taupe, ivory, and light gray.

Old RoseHex #C08081RGB 192, 128, 129CMYK 0, 33, 33, 25

Rosewood

Rosewood is prized as a tonewood for high-end guitars, and it’s also well known for its beautiful chocolatey grain and sweet, rosy scent. However, some pieces of unfinished rosewood do have a color similar to this one. Rosewood has more black than many pink shades (as seen on its CMYK values), so it has more depth and presence than many varieties of pink.

RosewoodHex #9E4244RGB 158, 66, 68CMYK 0, 58, 57, 38

Taffy

This delicate, candy-inspired hue is a pale pink that still manages to be decently energetic. It’s ideal for use in whimsical designs alongside similarly bright colors. It has a relatively high proportion of yellow and a relatively low proportion of black, making it an especially bright option.

TaffyHex #FA86C4RGB 250, 134, 196CMYK 0, 46, 22, 2

Turkish Rose

Many shades of pink are described as being some variety of rose. Turkish Rose is a somewhat unusual shade. Though it’s somewhat muted, it still delivers fresh energy to any color palette.

Turkish RoseHex #B57281RGB 181, 114, 129CMYK 0, 37, 29, 29

Punch

This fruity color’s high proportion of red makes it ideal for projects that require a more in-your-face shade of pink. This rosy shade has enough warmth to avoid seeming aggressive, and it looks very nice next to bright yellow.

PunchHex #F25278RGB 242, 82, 120CMYK 0, 66, 50, 5

Paradise Pink

This tropically-inspired pink color offers a beautiful depth not often seen in most shades of pink. Its complementary color, a bright and lively turquoise, looks especially beautiful alongside it. Its low proportions of both blue and black help explain its eye-catching brightness.

Paradise PinkHex #E63E62RGB 230, 62, 98CMYK 0, 73, 57, 10

Raspberry Rose

This deep, purplish magenta is aptly named. It is approximately between rose and raspberry shades of pink. It has relatively high proportions of both red and blue (as seen in its RGB values), so it has a bit of a purplish character.

Raspberry RoseHex #B3446CRGB 179, 68, 108CMYK 0, 62, 40, 30

Light Crimson

You probably already know crimson as a deep red color. But Light Crimson is effectively a diluted version. Its RGB value indicates that it has a high proportion of red, but a small amount of blue helps to balance it out. The result is an attractive pink that’s pale yet bright. A classic choice for a range of projects.

Light CrimsonHex #F56991RGB 245, 105, 145CMYK 0, 57, 41, 4

Pink Sherbet

This refreshing light pink is just about the exact color of raspberry sherbet. Though it’s more saturated than a pastel, it has a pastel-like quality that makes it very easy on the eyes. It looks great with other bright yet soft colors like pale lime green and pale orange.

Tickle Me PinkHex #FC89ACRGB 252, 137, 172CMYK 0, 46, 32, 1

Thulian Pink

Thulian PinkHex #DE6FA1RGB 222, 111, 161CMYK 0, 50, 27, 13

Brilliant Rose

As the name suggests, Brilliant Rose is an especially high-energy shade of pink. It’s very bright but not overly dark, and it isn’t quite as intense as hot pink. Brilliant Rose looks especially nice next to other tropically-inspired light colors.

Brilliant RoseHex #FF55A3RGB 255, 85, 163CMYK 0, 67, 36, 0

Lace

So far, many shades on the list have been bright, energetic pinks. But this delicate shade with cool undertones is soft enough to work as a wall color. As its name indicates, it’s about the same color as pale pink lace. Lace is also a great choice for a gentle website backdrop.

LaceHex #FFD8F0RGB 255, 216, 240CMYK 0, 15, 6, 0

Smitten

This happy shade of magenta has a suitable name. Compared to many other shades on the list, it’s a bit more purple. Its high proportions of red, blue, and black contribute to its intensity.

SmittenHex #C84186RGB 200, 65, 134CMYK 0, 68, 33, 22

Your

This one has an odd name, but its pale and peachy color is sure to appeal to plenty of people. Unlike many shades of pink, Your has equal amounts of magenta and yellow, and that helps create its soft warmth. This color contains no black, and its paleness makes it a great wall color if you want something warmer than eggshell.

YourHex #FFC0C0RGB 255, 192, 192CMYK 0, 25, 25, 0

Careys

This pink shade looks a lot like a soft, diluted mauve. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a pale pink that leans more toward purple than it does toward peach. Thanks to its fairly large proportion of blue and green, Careys has a cool undertone that gives it a particularly soothing quality.

CareysHex #D8A8A8RGB 216, 168, 168CMYK 0, 22, 22, 15

Oyster

This very soft pink is inspired by the color of the inside of an oyster. Even a quick look at its CMYK values shows you that it’s a very unsaturated shade. Its very small percentages of magenta, yellow, and black give it a barely-there quality, and it makes a nice calm wall or background color.

OysterHex #F0D8D8RGB 240, 216, 216CMYK 0, 10, 10, 6

Shimmering Blush

Shimmering Blush is a pleasant pink shade that does almost have a metallic quality about it. It’s very similar to the color of most powdered blush, and it strikes a beautiful balance between rose and lavender. Since it has slightly more red than blue and green, Shimmering Blush is also well balanced in terms of both warmth and coolness.

Shimmering BlushHex #D98695RGB 217, 134, 149CMYK 0, 38, 31, 15

Sea

Sea might seem like a strange name for a shade of pink. However, this color is just about the color of the inside of a seashell. With equal amounts of magenta and yellow, Sea is a very warm, almost peachy shade of pink. However, it also has substantial amounts of green and blue, so it manages to not be overly warm.

SeaHex #F09090RGB 240, 144, 144CMYK 0, 40, 40, 6

Brink

This bright medium pink is a great option for projects requiring a shade of pink that’s just a step down from hot pink. As you can see through its CMYK values, Brink has no cyan or black, and its RGB values show that it has far less green and blue than it does red. That helps explain its vivacious warmth. Brink pops against black, and it looks nice beside its complementary color – a very bright seafoam shade.

BrinkHex #FF6090RGB 255, 96, 144CMYK 0, 62, 44, 0

Hippie

Hippie is somewhat of an outsider among other shades of pink. It’s too red to be mauve, yet too purple to be raspberry. It looks a little like a watered-down maroon. This muted color looks nice beside blue and green jewel tones, but it would also work well alongside other neutrals in a calm color palette.

Light Deep Pink

The name of light deep pink might seem like a contradiction at first. But while this color is lighter than some pinks, it has incredible depth and presence. It’s ideal if you need a light pink that can grab attention without being quite as loud as a neon color. If you’re looking for a fresh contrast, Light Deep Pink creates a memorable pop against navy blue.

Wild Orchid

Orchid shades of pink have a calming beauty thanks to their light quality and slight blue undertones. Wild orchid, in particular, has a very slight dusty quality. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for a calming shade, and it looks nice alongside blues and grays.

Wild OrchidHex #D470A2RGB 212, 112, 162CMYK 0, 47, 24, 17

Cerise Pink

Cerise means a deep, bright red, and Cerise Pink can accordingly be described as a deep, bright pink. This is one of the most vivacious shades of pink you can choose. Thanks to its depth, it’s a great choice if you need something with substance that is still a high-energy shade. Cerise Pink works well alongside high-energy greens and blues.

Cerise PinkHex #EC3B83RGB 236, 59, 131CMYK 0, 75, 44, 7

Shocking Pink

As the name indicates, Shocking Pink is an electric shock to the eyes. Its CMYK values indicate that it’s primarily magenta. But as you can see from its RGB values, Shocking Pink also has a good bit of blue that gives it some depth. Shocking Pink looks great beside its complementary color, which is an especially bright Kelly green. It also provides a striking contrast against very dark background colors like dark hunter green or navy.

Shocking PinkHex #FC0FC0RGB 252, 15, 192CMYK 0, 94, 24, 1

Hit

Hit is another interestingly-named color. It’s a peachy, coral-like pink that looks great alongside a bright sky blue. As you can see based on the CMYK values, Hit contains more yellow than it does magenta. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a shade of pink that is warmer than most but still has a softness about it.

HitHex #FFA878RGB 255, 168, 120CMYK 0, 34, 53, 0

Lady

Lady is a dignified shade of pink that has a bit of a vintage look about it. It’s a little peachy, but it has much more red than Hit. It sits roughly between peach and mauve. Lady looks nice next to various shades of blue.

LadyHex #F0C0A8RGB 240, 192, 168CMYK 0, 20, 30, 6

Neon Fuchsia

There are plenty of shades of bright pink that are billed as great alternatives to neon, but sometimes you just need a genuine neon shade of pink. That’s where Neon Fuchsia comes in. On its own, fuchsia is close to neon, but this version packs some extra punch. As indicated by its CMYK values, it has a high degree of both magenta and yellow. Its brightness is slightly tempered by blue, but its high proportion of red ensures plenty of presence.

Neon FuchsiaHex #FE4164RGB 254, 65, 100CMYK 0, 74, 61, 0

Ultra Pink

This is an interesting shade of pink with some clear violet undertones. It has equal amounts of red and blue, and as you can see through its CMYK values, it has no cyan, yellow, or black – only magenta. Ultra Pink has a decidedly modern, sophisticated look, and it looks nice alongside creamy white shades.

Ultra PinkHex #FF6FFFRGB 255, 111, 255CMYK 0, 56, 0, 0

Schauss Pink

If you find Schauss Pink to be calming, scientific evidence agrees with you. This color is named after Alexander Schauss, a researcher who extensively investigated the effects of color on emotions. He conducted the research at Seattle’s Naval Correctional Facility. Schauss named the color Baker-Miller Pink after the directors of the facility, but the color has since also been called Schauss Pink. You may also sometimes hear it described as P-618 or Drunk-Tank Pink.

Schauss PinkHex #FF91AFRGB 255, 145, 175CMYK 0, 43, 31, 0

Ruddy Pink

This aptly-named color is roughly the tone of a healthy amount of redness in the face. It’s also close to the color of many shades of powdered blush. Its slightly dusky quality makes it look especially good in patterns with cocoa browns or soft, pale grays.

Ruddy PinkHex #E18E96RGB 225, 142, 150CMYK 0, 37, 33, 12

Pink Pearl

Though you can’t necessarily see a pearlescent luster through a computer screen, Pink Pearl does seem to have a bit of a sheen to it. It’s soft in color and almost lavender, and it’s a relaxing choice of color to have around. Incorporating Pink Pearl throw pillows or rugs can add a sense of homey calm to any living room.

Pink PearlHex #E7ACCFRGB 231, 172, 207CMYK 0, 26, 10, 9

Lavender Rose

Lavender Rose is a shade of pink that really lives up to its name. Its color really is right between that of lavender and of a pale pink rose. It’s close to the color of a lilac bloom. If you like a somewhat bright wall color, this one is a good choice. If you’re creating a color palette, Lavender Rose works beautifully with its seafoam green complementary color.

Lavender RoseHex #FBA0E3RGB 251, 160, 227CMYK 0, 36, 10, 2

Shampoo

You don’t necessarily see pink shampoo all too often anymore, but this pale, pearly shade does accurately capture the color of pink shampoo. As you can see from the CMYK values, it’s primarily magenta, but the color is low in saturation. Shampoo is a great shade of pale pink to use as a wall color or as a background.

ShampooHex #FFCFF1RGB 255, 207, 241CMYK 0, 19, 5, 0

Spanish Pink

This soft pink color is sometimes described as being a generic shade of pink. Its youthful, floral quality makes it a great choice for use in lipsticks, and it’s sometimes used in high-end lip color. Spanish Pink is made up of a high proportion of red, but its equal proportions of blue and green make it pleasingly balanced.

Spanish PinkHex #F7BFBERGB 247, 191, 190CMYK 0, 23, 23, 3

Valentine Pink

Valentine’s Day is sometimes associated with very bright pink shades. But if you’d prefer to celebrate with something a little calmer, you might find this shade to be a good choice. As you can see in its RGB values, Valentine Pink also has a high proportion of blue, and its cool undertones give it a pleasant and balanced quality. This color is close to the color of candy hearts, making its name all that more appropriate.

Valentine PinkHex #E6A6BERGB 230, 166, 190CMYK 0, 28, 17, 10

Silvery Pink

This pretty color is ideal if you’re looking for something that’s in between gray and pink. Silvery Pink has a higher proportion of black than many shades listed here (as you can see in its CMYK values), and that helps give it its shadowy quality. It also has relatively high amounts of green and blue, making it one of the cooler-leaning shades of pink.

Silvery PinkHex #DCB5B4RGB 220, 181, 180CMYK 0, 18, 18, 14

Melon

This soft, peachy color is a bit more subdued than the color of a watermelon. Melon is right between the shades of salmon and peach, and it’s cheerful yet mellow. You can see that quality reflected in the CMYK values. Melon has slightly more yellow than it does magenta, but it has a little bit of black. This pink shade pairs well with light blue and light green, as well as some shades of light purple.

MelonHex #F7BCACRGB 247, 188, 172CMYK 0, 24, 30, 3

Milano

This classy shade of pink lies somewhere between mauve and coral. It’s energetic without being too bright, and it’s a bit more red than many other pink shades. You can see this in its RGB values. There’s over twice the proportion of red than there is of blue or green. And as its CMYK values show, its large amounts of both magenta and yellow help create its warmth.

MilanoHex #D95D67RGB 217, 93, 103CMYK 0, 57, 53, 15

Sweet Pink

This rosy shade of pink certainly lives up to its name. Sweet Pink has a blush-like character thanks to its large amounts of magenta and yellow.

Sweet PinkHex #EE918DRGB 238, 145, 141CMYK 0, 39, 41, 7

Knockout Pink

Knockout Pink is easily one of the most striking pink shades on the list. It’s very similar to the color of a bright pink highlighter, but it has a bit more depth. Knockout Pink is a great choice for advertisements or for other projects that require a high-energy, attention-grabbing color scheme. As you can see from its CMYK values, part of Knockout Pink’s high-energy nature comes from its high proportion of magenta and yellow.

Knockout PinkHex #FF3EA5RGB 255, 62, 165CMYK 0, 76, 35, 0

Grapefruit Pink

Grapefruit is one of the most easily recognized pink fruits, and this shade of Grapefruit Pink does it justice. It’s roughly the color of ruby red grapefruit juice. It has relatively large amounts of both blue and yellow, making it nicely balanced. It looks great next to its complementary color, a bright blue that’s in between sky blue and turquoise.

Grapefruit PinkHex #E0707CRGB 224, 112, 124CMYK 0, 50, 45, 12

Champagne Pink

The glamorous nature of pink champagne translates well to the world of color, and this quiet shade would work very nicely as a wall color. Champagne Pink has a relatively large amount of green and blue, and that helps explain its cool undertones and quiet look. If you’re looking for a pale pink that pairs nicely with gold, this is also a good shade to consider.

Champagne PinkHex #F6E1D3RGB 246, 225, 211CMYK 0, 9, 14, 4

Lip Pink

This unusual, brownish pink is designed to approximate the color of most people’s lips. Though it’s still technically a shade of pink, Lip Pink approaches being a neutral, and it’s good for adding just a hint of warmth to otherwise completely neutral color palettes.

Lip PinkHex #DBAC98RGB 219, 172, 152CMYK 0, 21, 31, 14

Passion Pink

Passion Pink is very close to being an energetic light purple. Like many brighter, purple-tinged pinks, this one has a modern edge to it. It pairs nicely with silver, but it also looks nice beside its complementary color, a medium green.

Passion PinkHex #CE74A7RGB 206, 116, 167CMYK 0, 44, 19, 19

Nude Pink

Of all shades on the list, Nude Pink must be the closest to being a true neutral. It has a relatively high proportion of black compared to most pink shades, and it also has a relatively small proportion of magenta. Plus, as you can see from its RGB values, Nude Pink has relatively even amounts of red, green, and blue. It pairs nicely with gray and with calm shades of blue.

Nude PinkHex #DDC0B4RGB 221, 192, 180CMYK 0, 13, 19, 13

Rosy Pink

Rosy Pink is a lovely shade that’s somewhere between a rose pink and a hot pink. It’s great for use as a text color against a dark background, but it’s also a welcome addition to a bright, swirling color palette. A decent amount of blue stops its brightness from being overpowering, but it still offers plenty of energy.

Rosy PinkHex #FF66CCRGB 255, 102, 204CMYK 0, 60, 20, 0

Gold Pink

Gold Pink is another pink shade on the list that’s very close to being a neutral. As you can see from its CMYK values, it has almost the same amount of black as it does magenta. That helps explain its grayish color. Gold Pink is similar in color to rose gold, and it makes a dignified website backdrop or background for stationery.

Gold PinkHex #E6C7C2RGB 230, 199, 194CMYK 0, 13, 16, 10

Misty Rose

Misty Rose is a gentle pastel pink with just a hint of peach. If you’re looking for a wall color with a little more warmth than eggshell or other forms of off-white, Misty Rose is a great option. It looks beautiful alongside very pale pastel blues and greens. As you can see in the CMYK value, it has slightly more yellow than magenta, which explains its peachy glow.

Misty RoseHex #FFE4E1RGB 255, 228, 225CMYK 0, 11, 12, 0

Mauvelous

This playfully-named shade is essentially a more pinkish version of mauve. As you can see from the RGB values, Mauvelous has a good amount of blue. That helps give it its cool undertones. Mauvelous looks especially good with pale shades of blue.

MauvelousHex #EF98AARGB 239, 152, 170CMYK 0, 36, 29, 6

Light Blush

This light pink is about the color of most light-colored powdered blushes you can find at almost any store. It’s also a classic example of what most people would picture when they imagine light pink. With a good proportion of magenta, a decent amount of yellow, and very little black, it’s a well-balanced pink that’s a little on the bright side.

Light BlushHex #F1ABB9RGB 241, 171, 185CMYK 0, 29, 23, 5

Copper Rose

Copper Rose is a somewhat unusual shade of pink. It might best be described as being rose gold with a little brown mixed in. And as the name suggests, it’s also roughly the color of a rose mixed with the color of copper. This reddish-metallic hue has a quiet look about it, and its complementary color is a somewhat dusty shade of blue. As you can see, much of its subdued nature comes from the large amount of black present.

Copper RoseHex #996666RGB 153, 102, 102CMYK 0, 33, 33, 40

Raspberry Glace

This color’s appetizing name seems accurate. It does look a lot like a sugar-preserved raspberry. It does have a fairly purplish look that’s explained by its high proportion of blue in relation to red. If you like quieter, dusty pinks but want something that’s more mulberry-like in appearance, Raspberry Glace is worth considering.

Raspberry GlaceHex #915F6DRGB 145, 95, 109CMYK 0, 34, 25, 43

Debian Red

Many different colors are named after company logos they are used on. Debian Red is the logo color of the Linux operating system Debian, a free software system collaboratively developed by volunteers. While it has “red” in the name, Debian Red is essentially a very vivid magenta. It’s a high-energy, summery shade that really pops against lemon yellow.

Debian RedHex #D70A53RGB 215, 10, 83CMYK 0, 95, 61, 16

Ruber

Ruber is a lovely, raspberry-like pink that looks great with turquoise. As you can see by looking at its RGB values, it has a large amount of red but a medium amount of blue. That combination gives it a mildly purplish hue. Ruber is a great color choice if you’d like a color that offers a lot of presence without being overly bright.

RuberHex #CE4676RGB 206, 70, 118CMYK 0, 66, 43, 19

Vanilla Ice

Vanilla Ice is a sweet petal pink that can add a springlike magic to any color palette. It goes well with pastel yellows and soft spring greens. This color has a somewhat bright quality, but the amount of blue seen in its RGB value helps add just enough coolness.

Vanilla IceHex #F38FA9RGB 243, 143, 169CMYK 0, 41, 30, 5

Light Hot Pink

As the name suggests, Light Hot Pink is essentially a diluted, pastel version of hot pink. This color is probably what most people would picture when imagining a pale pink. There’s enough green and blue present to create just a hint of a cool undertone, but Light Hot Pink isn’t purple in the slightest.

Light Hot PinkHex #FFB3DERGB 255, 179, 222CMYK 0, 30, 13, 0

Super Pink

This cheerful yet cool pink shade is reminiscent of electric purple, but it has more magenta present. It’s a bit like a darker lilac bloom, and it can add a springlike touch to any project. Super Pink is a departure from the shades of pink you often see, so it’s a great choice for a project that needs to stand out.

China Rose

China Rose is a stately, slightly purple shade that has a slightly dusky quality. This is one of the shades of pink that pairs nicely with gold, but it also looks nice dressed down alongside navy or other more demure shades of blue. As you can see in the CMYK values, China Rose’s large proportion of black gives it a more muted presence.

China RoseHex #A8516ERGB 168, 81, 110CMYK 0, 52, 35, 34

Deep Pruce

Pruce is a great color if you like earth-toned pinks, and Deep Pruce is effectively a darker, more present version. This is one of the pink shades that is close to being a neutral, but not quite. If you’re looking for a gentle and dignified color, Deep Pruce is worth considering.

French Fuchsia

This cheerful, bright pink is one of the many variants of fuchsia you’ll come across while searching for just the right shade of pink. As evident in the CMYK values, it has a good bit of magenta and yellow, both of which add to its noticeable presence.
