antique rose

Old garden flower

Antique rose is a muted pink with brownish or mauve undertones, evoking faded vintage textiles or old garden roses past their peak bloom.

The color appears in interior design, wedding palettes, and fashion where a softer, more sophisticated alternative to bright pink is wanted: The bridesmaids wore antique rose gowns.

Also called dusty rose.
