The Color Shell Pink

Discover the color shell pink...

Pink Seashells
... soft hues of yellowish pink found in shells (poster available @ art.com, please click on image)...

Shell Pink Interior
... apply it to a room and you've got an enchanting oasis...


... or here on a chaise, combined with brighter pinks, how out-standing...

Shell Pink Pillow
... a shell pink throw pillow for a touch of glamour...

... or a pair of table lamps, so elegant...

... and to my surprise there are more than twenty hues of shell pinks to choose from (click image to see them all)... I'm hooked again on something pink (see Pink Beach Resorts).
It's Hooked on Fridays over at Julia's Hooked on Houses, and I'm also participating in Pink Saturday!

I just too a mini-vacation w/that first pic! LOL

I like the idea of shell pink as an accent color, but I've been through "baby lotion pink" and "pixie dust pink" w/my two girls so far, and am a little worn out! But if I were in a resort home or closer to the coast, I'd say "bring it on!" Great pics!

Oh, if I had a "beachy" home, I'd be ALL over this color!! However, I'm not so sure my hubby would be. By the way, LOVE that big house in the picture at the top of your blog!!! WOW!
Thanks for sharing!!

Shell pink is a glorious color -- flattering, warm, and looks good in all lights. We painted one of our guest rooms in Benjamin Moore's Softshell, a sweet pink that has that touch of peach/yellow in it. I love that color!
Lovely post, thanks!

Beautiful!
Thanks for stopping by my beach house post. Since you are all about beach houses, I'll have to dig deeper.

Tamara Jansen said...

Hmmmm! If my grandbaby turns out to be a girl, this would be the perfect color for a nursery :)

Beautiful shells, inspiring colors. Strolling along the beaches off season, taking those wonderful photos... This is truly a celebration of the sea. I wish I had the privilege to live near the coast. Best wishes :)

I love the shell pink! It also contrasts nicely with many of the coastal blues!

Mary Beth said...

I love pink....all shades of pink...any shade of pink. The pictures are just beautiful....so delicate and so relaxing. I would love a "pink" house but with all boys the chances of that happening for me are somewhat slim but a few throw pillows aren't out of the question.

Hi Maya!
Oh to have a living room just like that...I would be in heaven for sure! It reminds me so much of my late grandmothers taste in decor. She was so ahead of her time.
