Inspired by the classic colour of freshly applied lime plaster, this shaded natural boasts a gentle warmth and the subtle pink tones make it the perfect colour to sit alongside powerful greens such as Ottilie and Angelica.

Another great way to pull both pink and green together in a room is to introduce little accents of greenery. Plants dotted throughout the room add a splash of luscious colour. Botanical references can also be incorporated in the form of pattern. Mairi Helena's wall mural entitled 'Ionas Animal World' features highlights of leafy green cow parsley stems which perfectly balance the soft pink tone of Wedgewood lilac on the walls of her daughter's nursery.

As two very versatile shades, pink and green can be used successfully in both modern and contemporary spaces. Softer tones of pink alongside deep, dark greens can look elegant and sophisticated especially when incorporated with materials such as marble and brass.
The example to left from Instagram account @endofthegrove also demonstrates just how well this palette can work in any room of the home.
