Who Said Pink and Green Should Never Be Seen? Designers Are Rewriting the Rules of This Once-Divisive Color Combination

A large white living room with two tall arched windows with lime green sheer roman blinds, a terracotta-colored sofa with pale blue cushions, and two matching pink lampshades either side of the sofa. .

There are few color combinations as happy and comforting as pink and green, but channeling these two hues without veering into an '80s aesthetic takes a thoughtful approach.

In 2026, designers are once again channeling pink and green rooms, but not as you once knew them. Gone are the bubblegum pinks and teal-leaning greens – designers are turning to earthy plaster tones and warming corals teamed with sophisticated olive tones and refreshing, delicate greens to embrace this color trend. That's not to say this color combination can't be playful, though (think chartreuse and terracotta) – it's as much about how these colors are added to a room.
