Crepe Hex #F89883 RGB 248, 152, 131 CMYK 0, 39, 47, 3 This accurately named pale pink is just about the color of a freshly washed pig. It’s subtle enough to be used as a wall color or background color. And as you can see from the RGB value, it has enough blue to make it slightly muted. Piggy Pink Hex #FDDDE6 RGB 253, 221, 230 CMYK 0, 13, 9, 1 This color’s name might make you think of a dark, calm pink, but Deep Pink looks a lot like an intense near-neon. This color pops against black, making it an excellent choice for accents on athletic wear, flyers, or any application where you want to get someone’s attention. Deep Pink Hex #FF1493 RGB 255, 20, 147 CMYK 0, 92, 42, 0 If you like pink but prefer muted, “dusty” shades, Dust Storm is a great option. This dusky shade looks especially nice against ivory and other pale neutrals. It will add an air of class to stationery, clothing, and website design, making it an especially versatile choice. Dust Storm Hex #E5CCC9 RGB 229, 204, 201 CMYK 0, 11, 12, 10 This exotic-sounding shade is named after the nadeshiko plant.

Rose Quartz Hex #AA98A9 RGB 170, 152, 169 CMYK 0, 11, 1, 33 Wild Strawberry Though it’s much more pink than the red glow of a strawberry, Wild Strawberry has a bright and cheerful spirit that can add life to any project. It looks great in very bright color palettes, but it can also add a burst of color to more neutral shades. Wild Strawberry Hex #FF43A4 RGB 255, 67, 164 CMYK 0, 74, 36, 0 This warm, magenta-rich pink can add some energy to any project.

Razzmatazz Hex #E3256B RGB 227, 37, 107 CMYK 0, 84, 53, 11 Sometimes you need a shade of pink that effectively works as a neutral. And as the name suggests, Rose Taupe sits right between a rosy pink and a sandy taupe. It works well alongside other pale neutrals, and it also makes a stately border on stationery, cards, and invitations. Rose Taupe Hex #905D5D RGB 144, 93, 93 CMYK 0, 35, 35, 44 Rubine means “ruby,” and this pink shade certainly has the presence of a gemstone. While this color is described as being red, it’s more of a magenta-heavy pink. It’s a great choice if you want a reddish pink that’s bright without being neon. Rubine Red Hex #D10056 RGB 209, 0, 86 CMYK 0, 100, 59, 18 Hollywood Cerise This dreamily-named color is similar to fuchsia. Its bright, summery character makes it a good choice for advertising or any other application where grabbing attention is important. As you can see from both the RGB and CMYK values, it has a good bit of both blue and magenta. That gives it excellent balance. Hollywood Cerise Hex #F400A1 RGB 244, 0, 161 CMYK 0, 100, 34, 4 This striking, cheerful color holds significant cultural importance in Mexico. Citizens consider it to be a symbol of the country’s charisma, and taxicabs in Mexico City are even painted in Mexican Pink and white. Famed Mexican architect Luis Barragan often incorporates the color into his projects as well. Mexican Pink Hex #E4007C RGB 228, 0, 124 CMYK 0, 100, 46, 11 This interestingly named color has a somewhat metallic look about it. It’s one of the pink shades named and used by Crayola. It first appeared in a set of colored pencils. Steel Pink is a great choice if you like magenta but would prefer something that’s a little darker and more subdued. Steel Pink Hex #CC3366 RGB 204, 51, 102 CMYK 0, 75, 50, 20 This dusty shade of pink does get somewhat close to the color of rose gold used in jewelry. It looks especially nice beside ivory and pale gray. Rose Gold Hex #B76E79 RGB 183, 110, 121 CMYK 0, 40, 34, 28 Rose Bonbon is another shade of pink that has a relatively high proportion of both yellow and magenta. There’s also a good bit of blue, so it’s a balanced shade that manages to be soft and bright at the same time. It’s a classic middle-of-the-road pink that can be useful for a wide range of projects. Rose Bonbon Hex #F9429E RGB 249, 66, 158 CMYK 0, 73, 37, 2 This cheerful, bright magenta is a color offered by Pantone. Its youthful charm makes it great for accenting children’s rooms or for use in children’s clothing. As you can see from the CMYK values, Barbie Pink is tempered by some amount of black. Barbie Pink Hex #E0218A RGB 224, 33, 138 CMYK 0, 85, 38, 12 If you’ve seen a mulberry bush, you probably know that actual mulberries are almost black in color. But this shade of pink is almost exactly the color that mulberry juice will stain your hands. It’s a great choice if you need a color that will remind you of summer without being overly bright. Mulberry Hex #C54B8C RGB 197, 75, 140 CMYK 0, 62, 29, 23 Razzle Dazzle Rose

This one might bring back memories of coloring in elementary school. Razzle Dazzle Rose is another Crayola color that can add a healthy dose of cheer to any project. This is another color that manages to be both pale and bright, so it can add some energy to a color palette without becoming overwhelming. Razzle Dazzle Rose Hex #FF33CC RGB 255, 51, 204 CMYK 0, 80, 20, 0 Fandango is a bright, highly saturated pink that has a somewhat purplish touch. It pops against its complementary color (a medium bright green), but it also looks nice against pale yellow. Fandango is ideal for projects that need a burst of fun, free-spirited energy. Fandango Hex #B53389 RGB 181, 51, 137 CMYK 0, 72, 24, 29 This uncommon color name means a dark reddish purple-brown. But this particular shade is more of a pinkish brown with a hint of purple. It’s less brown than many of the dusty shades of pink we’ve seen on the list, making it a happy medium between bright pink and dusty pink. Puce Hex #CC8899 RGB 204, 136, 153 CMYK 0, 33, 25, 20 Old Rose is one of the many muted, mauve-like shades of pink out there. The name is especially fitting, as it’s very similar to the color of a pink rose as it starts to wilt. Its vintage appeal makes it ideal for historically-inspired projects. It’s also a great accent color against paler neutrals like taupe, ivory, and light gray. Old Rose Hex #C08081 RGB 192, 128, 129 CMYK 0, 33, 33, 25 Rosewood is prized as a tonewood for high-end guitars, and it’s also well known for its beautiful chocolatey grain and sweet, rosy scent. However, some pieces of unfinished rosewood do have a color similar to this one. Rosewood has more black than many pink shades (as seen on its CMYK values), so it has more depth and presence than many varieties of pink. Rosewood Hex #9E4244 RGB 158, 66, 68 CMYK 0, 58, 57, 38 This delicate, candy-inspired hue is a pale pink that still manages to be decently energetic. It’s ideal for use in whimsical designs alongside similarly bright colors. It has a relatively high proportion of yellow and a relatively low proportion of black, making it an especially bright option. Taffy Hex #FA86C4 RGB 250, 134, 196 CMYK 0, 46, 22, 2 Many shades of pink are described as being some variety of rose. Turkish Rose is a somewhat unusual shade. Though it’s somewhat muted, it still delivers fresh energy to any color palette. Its uncommon characteristics might be explained in part by its RGB value. It has somewhat similar proportions of red, green, and blue. Turkish Rose Hex #B57281 RGB 181, 114, 129 CMYK 0, 37, 29, 29 This fruity color’s high proportion of red makes it ideal for projects that require a more in-your-face shade of pink. This rosy shade has enough warmth to avoid seeming aggressive, and it looks very nice next to bright yellow. Punch Hex #F25278 RGB 242, 82, 120 CMYK 0, 66, 50, 5 This tropically-inspired pink color offers a beautiful depth not often seen in most shades of pink. Its complementary color, a bright and lively turquoise, looks especially beautiful alongside it. Its low proportions of both blue and black help explain its eye-catching brightness. Paradise Pink Hex #E63E62 RGB 230, 62, 98 CMYK 0, 73, 57, 10 This deep, purplish magenta is aptly named. It is approximately between rose and raspberry shades of pink. It has relatively high proportions of both red and blue (as seen in its RGB values), so it has a bit of a purplish character. Raspberry Rose Hex #B3446C RGB 179, 68, 108 CMYK 0, 62, 40, 30 You probably already know crimson as a deep red color. But Light Crimson is effectively a diluted version. Its RGB value indicates that it has a high proportion of red, but a small amount of blue helps to balance it out. The result is an attractive pink that’s pale yet bright. A classic choice for a range of projects. Light Crimson Hex #F56991 RGB 245, 105, 145 CMYK 0, 57, 41, 4 This refreshing light pink is just about the exact color of raspberry sherbet. Though it’s more saturated than a pastel, it has a pastel-like quality that makes it very easy on the eyes. It looks great with other bright yet soft colors like pale lime green and pale orange. Pink Sherbet Hex #F78FA7 RGB 247, 143, 167 CMYK 0, 42, 32, 3 If the name of this pretty shade sounds familiar, you might have read it off the side of a crayon years ago.

Tickle Me Pink Hex #FC89AC RGB 252, 137, 172 CMYK 0, 46, 32, 1 Thulian Pink is a bright, saturated shade that looks a bit like Light Crimson. It is very slightly purplish, so it’s bright without seeming neon. Thulian Pink is a great choice if you need a shade of pink that’s slightly cooler in color than most. Thulian Pink Hex #DE6FA1 RGB 222, 111, 161 CMYK 0, 50, 27, 13 As the name suggests, Brilliant Rose is an especially high-energy shade of pink. It’s very bright but not overly dark, and it isn’t quite as intense as hot pink. Brilliant Rose looks especially nice next to other tropically-inspired light colors. Brilliant Rose Hex #FF55A3 RGB 255, 85, 163 CMYK 0, 67, 36, 0 So far, many shades on the list have been bright, energetic pinks. But this delicate shade with cool undertones is soft enough to work as a wall color. As its name indicates, it’s about the same color as pale pink lace. Lace is also a great choice for a gentle website backdrop. Lace Hex #FFD8F0 RGB 255, 216, 240 CMYK 0, 15, 6, 0 This happy shade of magenta has a suitable name. Compared to many other shades on the list, it’s a bit more purple. Its high proportions of red, blue, and black contribute to its intensity. Smitten Hex #C84186 RGB 200, 65, 134 CMYK 0, 68, 33, 22 This one has an odd name, but its pale and peachy color is sure to appeal to plenty of people. Unlike many shades of pink, Your has equal amounts of magenta and yellow, and that helps create its soft warmth. This color contains no black, and its paleness makes it a great wall color if you want something warmer than eggshell. Your Hex #FFC0C0 RGB 255, 192, 192 CMYK 0, 25, 25, 0 This pink shade looks a lot like a soft, diluted mauve. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a pale pink that leans more toward purple than it does toward peach. Thanks to its fairly large proportion of blue and green, Careys has a cool undertone that gives it a particularly soothing quality. Careys Hex #D8A8A8 RGB 216, 168, 168 CMYK 0, 22, 22, 15 This very soft pink is inspired by the color of the inside of an oyster. Even a quick look at its CMYK values shows you that it’s a very unsaturated shade. Its very small percentages of magenta, yellow, and black give it a barely-there quality, and it makes a nice calm wall or background color. Oyster Hex #F0D8D8 RGB 240, 216, 216 CMYK 0, 10, 10, 6 Shimmering Blush Shimmering Blush is a pleasant pink shade that does almost have a metallic quality about it. It’s very similar to the color of most powdered blush, and it strikes a beautiful balance between rose and lavender. Since it has slightly more red than blue and green, Shimmering Blush is also well balanced in terms of both warmth and coolness. Shimmering Blush Hex #D98695 RGB 217, 134, 149 CMYK 0, 38, 31, 15 Sea might seem like a strange name for a shade of pink. However, this color is just about the color of the inside of a seashell. With equal amounts of magenta and yellow, Sea is a very warm, almost peachy shade of pink. However, it also has substantial amounts of green and blue, so it manages to not be overly warm. Sea Hex #F09090 RGB 240, 144, 144 CMYK 0, 40, 40, 6 This bright medium pink is a great option for projects requiring a shade of pink that’s just a step down from hot pink. As you can see through its CMYK values, Brink has no cyan or black, and its RGB values show that it has far less green and blue than it does red. That helps explain its vivacious warmth. Brink pops against black, and it looks nice beside its complementary color – a very bright seafoam shade. Brink Hex #FF6090 RGB 255, 96, 144 CMYK 0, 62, 44, 0 Hippie is somewhat of an outsider among other shades of pink. It’s too red to be mauve, yet too purple to be raspberry. It looks a little like a watered-down maroon. This muted color looks nice beside blue and green jewel tones, but it would also work well alongside other neutrals in a calm color palette. Hippie Hex #A84860 RGB 168, 72, 96 CMYK 0, 57, 43, 34 Light Deep Pink The name of light deep pink might seem like a contradiction at first. But while this color is lighter than some pinks, it has incredible depth and presence. It’s ideal if you need a light pink that can grab attention without being quite as loud as a neon color. If you’re looking for a fresh contrast, Light Deep Pink creates a memorable pop against navy blue. Light Deep Pink Hex #FF5CCD RGB 255, 92, 205 CMYK 0, 64, 20, 0 Orchid shades of pink have a calming beauty thanks to their light quality and slight blue undertones. Wild orchid, in particular, has a very slight dusty quality. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for a calming shade, and it looks nice alongside blues and grays.
