Romantic
Pink suggests romance. Pink is white
added to red in varying amounts and is
the lightened value of red. Like red, pink
arouses interest and excitement, but in a
softer, quieter way.
A romantic color scheme using pas-
tel tints of pink, lavender, and peach will
read as gentle and tender. Combined with
other bright pastels, pink evokes memories
of dreamy June days and full bouquets of
delicate, summer flowers.
