shell pink

Soft rosy hue

Shell pink is a pale, delicate pink with warm undertones, named for the soft interior color of certain seashells.

It's slightly muted compared to baby pink, with a hint of peach or cream: The bridesmaids wore shell pink dresses.

The color appears frequently in cosmetics, interior design, and formal wear.
