Barbie pink had its moment. Now, pink is getting a softer, warmer, and considerably more sophisticated makeover. And according to Benjamin Moore, peachy pinks are set to be a major color story for 2027, with the paint brand picking four favorite shades it expects to see everywhere in the year ahead.
For too long, decorating with pink has been relegated to girls’ bedrooms, as though the color belongs exclusively to children’s spaces. But pink room ideas are far more versatile than that. Used thoughtfully, it can be elegant, enveloping and quietly sensual; it can add warmth as an accent or create a cocooning effect when taken across walls, woodwork and furnishings. Increasingly, it is the paler, peachier end of the spectrum that is proving particularly compelling. The move away from vivid bubblegum and Barbie pink reflects a wider appetite for warmer, more nuanced colors.
