About Blush Pink
Blush pink is a very pale, soft pink that barely whispers of color. Light and delicate as a fresh rose petal or the faintest flush on a cheek, blush pink is the most romantic and delicate of all the pinks. Its extreme lightness gives it an ethereal quality that reads as both elegant and vulnerable. Unlike hot pink or fuschia, blush pink is universally flattering and remarkably easy to pair with other colors.
