Perfect PINK paint - anyone?!

Daughter wants a pink room, but I don't like pink.

I do however like the colour that's on this wall in this pic!

Anyone got any recommendations for a paint colour similar in style /colour to this?

Dulux blush pink is lovely and subtle

My daughter has just painted her room in Dulux Jasmine Shimmer, which is not very pale and not too pink. She's very pleased with it.

Middleton pink by F&B. My daughter picked it for her bedroom it looks beautiful, warm, feminine and yet seems to go with everything.

Little Greene Hollyhock is beautiful and kind of an off white.

Dulux Nutmeg White came up with pink undertones in our flat. Would be very subtle but seen it in different light and doesn't look pink at all so could be worth a tester pot.

We have f&b calamine in my daughter's room. It's pinker/brighter than your photo so I wouldn't go for that. We do love it, but it's not as purpley grey as your pink pic.

We have dulux noisette blush in our bedroom and it's beautiful. Even DH likes it, enough to redecorate our next room with it when we swap bedrooms around before our next DS.
Finding a good, subtle pink is tough.

My daughter's room is Dulux Jasmine Shimmer, it's quite subtle, I was really pleased with it in her North facing box room.

I tried a few of the Farrow and Ball pinks, but they were all too dark, too muddy or too salmony. I also ended up with Dulux Blush Pink, it looks very pale when it first goes on the wall, but it's a beautiful soft pink.

Omg you want Middleton Pink, light, subtle & lovely.

We used Craig and rose camisole pink in our bedroom. It’s pale and dusky, and not at all barbie bubblegum.

Calamine by F&B is lovely, it’s slightly more ‘ ‘grown up’ than a blush shade as has a degree of grey in it.

If you want warmer than that, F&B Setting Plaster is also nice. Lastly, if F&B is a bit more than you want to spend take a sample to a paint mixing place, it won’t have the same chalkiness to it, but it will save ££.
