petal pink

Soft rose shade

Petal pink is a soft, delicate shade of pink reminiscent of flower petals—particularly roses or cherry blossoms.

The color suggests femininity, gentleness, and natural beauty: The nursery walls were painted petal pink.

It falls lighter and more muted than hot pink or magenta, closer to blush or ballet pink.
