Pink paint has been having a moment for the last little while, and after seeing RuPaul's luxe entryway, I am convinced it is here to stay.
The RuPaul's Drag Race host recently shared a clip of his glamorous entryway, and I was particularly struck by the blush-pink wall paint, which complements the twin marble pillars and crown molding beautifully. If you want to decorate with pink but are worried it will feel immature, Ru's space is the perfect inspiration.
It's hard to know exactly what shade Ru uses, but I suggest Farrow & Ball's Ointment Pink as a close alternative. It has that dusty charm that feels vintage and sophisticated, proving pink is more than just playful.
While Ru could easily have opted for a modern, minimalist entryway in an entirely monochromatic scheme, the pink packs a punch and brings a feminine energy to the space.

While there are endless shades to choose from for pink room ideas, design experts recommend a particular one for the undecided.
'Pink is having a moment in the home, specifically muted softer shades of powdery pink like Farrow & Ball’s Sulking Room Pink,' says Michael Rolland, managing director at The Paint Shed.
'The shade is extremely versatile and can work well in most rooms around the home. When considering where to paint pink, take into account the lighting and size of the room, as this hue can impact the feel of the space.'
He continues, 'The shade adds warmth and character to rooms in a truly contemporary way, making it a great option throughout the home. For small rooms, this light pink shade works well as it reflects light, making the walls appear to fall back and giving the illusion of a bigger, more open space. In bigger rooms, avoid overwhelming the space; instead, highlight accent walls and alcove spaces with the pink shade to create points of interest.'
Pair your pink-painted wall with luxe accents, such as this marble table from Wayfair and this matte-black HomeCourt candle, for a contemporary look.
Ultimately, RuPaul’s pink entryway is a reminder that color can be both confident and considered. When chosen thoughtfully, pink moves beyond novelty and becomes a timeless design tool – softening architectural details, elevating everyday spaces, and injecting personality without sacrificing elegance.
Whether you commit to a full room or test the waters with an accent wall, this new wave of muted pinks proves that decorating boldly can still feel grown-up, refined, and utterly inviting.
