Cocooning and pretty, the blush pink palette ranges from a confetti of palest blossom through plaster and peach to the cooler tones of vintage rose petals. The renaissance of this color is not surprising – from the softest blush to the hottest fuchsia, Leslie Mann's living room is, quite simply, pink perfection. With its connotations of grace, purity, and elegance, the color also has significant historical provenance.
‘Pinks have been used throughout history and ranged from the plaster pinks, based on red ochre, to the blossom pinks from crimson lakes,’ says Edward Bulmer, an architectural historian, interior designer and founder of Edward Bulmer Natural Paint. ‘The latter was expensive and much loved as a tinting color on ornamental plasterwork from the 18th century onwards. They are a perennial favorite as they flatter both building and occupant.’
