Help me find the Perfect Pink

We are repainting our flat. It's a 12 year old modern style flat with some warehouse conversion type features, in a listed Victorian building. We have low ceilings (though some double height ceilings in some spaces) and not a huge amount of natural light.
I'm thinking something like F&B Cabbage White, but with pink tones instead of blue if that makes sense? I want a very pure pink pink (not greyish, not peachy) but need it quite pale as I think the colour will be amplified quite a lot.
Any suggestions?

Thanks mini, think I'm going to have to check out fired Earth and designers guild. The big cards I've painted in the tester pots aren't right. Confetti is way too dark. Pink Ground looks a weird sort of yellow and not pink at all, and Calamine, whilst it is my favourite, it's way too muddy looking in the place we want to put it. I think what I want is more a Middleton Pink, but lighter. Back to the drawing board 🙈

I love this colour in a coffee shop near me. Their windows have the same aspect as ours. I would describe it as a very sickly marshmallow pink, but it's so pale my husband thought it was white (it's definitely not white). I have found the design firm which did the cafe but it feels cheeky asking them what the paint colour is!

I'd ask them. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Go for it. If you don't ask you won't know!
