“Do pink and red go together in a room?” Your question answered.
When I was growing up, I remember fashion magazines, the TV and probably my Mum telling me you ‘can’t put pink and red together.’ It was basically criminal.
I would have lived and died by this rule back then, but fast forward to 2022 and it’s my favourite colour combination ever. While complementary colours are pleasing to the eye, monochromatic colour schemes also have their place – like red and pink.
Do pink and red go together?
Red and pink are basically the same colour and they both have cool undertones so they make a nice pairing; execute it in the right way and it can be a match made in colour-wheel heaven.
How to decorate with pink and red:
Red is a very powerful colour; we often associate it with anger or danger and it can make us feel stressed and anxious.
To play it safe, use red as the accent colour and pink (which is a much calmer hue) as the main event.
For example, a blush pink wall with a red window frame could be delightful.
What pink goes best with red?
There are so many different shades of pink and so many different shades of red so it’s hard to say, but for me, I love a primary red with blush pink.
