Jaipur Pink

Jaipur in the heart of Rajasthan, India, is known as the Pink City because all the buildings are various shades of dusty ancient pink. Set in the midst of an area of incredible craftsmanship, Jaipur is an endlessly inspiring city and gave its name to this soft sophisticated pink.

Jaipur Pink is a dusty earthy pink with a softness to it. Whilst it was inspired by India, this pink is everywhere in countries like France and Italy; it has the look of traditional plaster – slightly dirty and muted with a timeless olde-world quality. There is nothing Barbie about this pink!

Jaipur Pink lightens to make other pinks or add Arles to make it more of an earthy ochre.

In India it is a colour that works with earthy yellows, browns and reds like Old Ochre, Honfleur and Primer Red.  Use Jaipur Pink with warmer neutrals like Original, Old White and Rococo White for a cohesive sophisticated look. Jaipur Pink also works with strong colours like Tyrian Plum, Cambrian Blue and Olive to create fresh modern interiors.
