Do you love the color pink? Your in good company, in 2016 the The Pantone Institute declared that pink quartz was the color of the year along with a soft blue with lavender shade they called Serenity a beautiful foamy blue color. We don’t often think of pink for decorating except perhaps in classic castles and palaces in France, or the 50s pink scene or 1920s style decor or a young girls room.
Pink is a color that is often associated with the feminine and considered soft delicate and ethereal. But the varying ranges of pink from a light nearly white hue to a more intense fuchsia give a strong palette to work with when decorating. And you can use pink in an “adult” gender neutral manner that will look great and provide just the right touch for your bathroom.

When considering what hue to go with you will want to start thinking about what other colors you are going to combine in your bathroom. If you choose a soft and clear rose quartz, you can achieve elegant combinations with subtle grays or blacks or if you have a more modern home go with something more dynamic like the Serenity blue suggested by the Pantone Institute. If you love pastels and the warm bright feeling they bring to a room pink can be a fun base color to built off for your overall color approach.
