pastel pink

Muted rosy hue

Pastel pink is a soft, muted shade of pink with reduced saturation—pink mixed with white to create a gentle, powdery tone.

The color evokes delicacy and is associated with femininity, nurseries, and springtime: The bridesmaids wore pastel pink dresses.

Like other pastels, it suggests lightness and subtlety rather than boldness.
