Pink and green is one of those color combinations that seems as though it has existed since the beginning of time. And in many ways, it has. Pink and green exist in the starbursts of the cosmos. We see the combination throughout nature in the enchanting lights of the Arora Borealis, and the pink petals of a rose bush. In popular culture, pink and green together has become a symbol of the whimsical, wizarding friendship of Glinda and Elphaba (we can thank the Wicked movies for that). But where does the dynamic duo fit into the interior design world?
When I imagine a pink and green room, my mind goes to Pottery Barn Teen catalogs and the paisley print bedspread I owned circa 2008. I mention these motifs not in distaste, but rather as a precursor to the question: Can pink and green be used in ways that represent a space that is more refined, mature, and chic? Further, do pink and green go together in contemporary interior design? When I asked paint color expert and interior color consultant, Amy Krane, she immediately deemed it "one of her favorite color combinations."
