What color is blush pink?

Blush pink is a soft, warm pink that mimics a natural flush. In design and weddings it usually means a pale pink like #F4C2C2 (which color references also list as baby pink). Confusingly, the 'blush' in many color references is a much stronger rose, #DE5D83, so check which one your client means.

Blush is everywhere in weddings, beauty, fashion and lifestyle brands, and it's a popular warm neutral for portfolios and boutique sites. It reads as gentle, romantic and approachable.

Pale blush needs dark text and works best as a background or accent block. Pair it with gold, charcoal, sage or navy. Avoid pairing pale blush with pure white at large sizes because the contrast is so low it can look washed out; use a warm off-white instead.
