It’s fun yet calming so let’s embrace the colour pink

-

Gone are the days when pink was seen as a gender-specific colour and relegated to use in little girls’ rooms only. Now appreciate­d for its soothing and joyful properties, pink comes in many forms from icy pastels and bold hot hues to dusky wafer tones and soft blushes.

With a touch of blue added, pink also crosses over to a range of pretty lavenders – like the soft and subtle lilac Dulux Tuakau, seen in the room at right. It’s one of the Dulux® Colours of New Zealand® – a range of more than 1000 colours that echo the beautiful landscapes right across New Zealand.

You only have to look at flowers in a garden to see how mutable and interestin­g pink can be. Just as there is variety in the colour itself, there are many ways to introduce pink into your home – as a pale seashell neutral perhaps, as a feature wall or on every wall of a room. Don’t be shy, give it a try.
