56 Types of Light Pink

John Spacey, May 24, 2019 updated on January 18, 2020

Light pink is any pink that has been tinted with white. This is traditionally a feminine color and is occasionally used to countersignal masculinity. Light pink is perceived as soft, delicate and fragrant due to its appearance in nature as flower petals. Research conducted in the 1970s and 1980s by Alexander Schauss indicated that specific variations of light pink reduce aggression in people (see Schauss pink below).

Notes

Pinks that are close to red or purple are often not considered light as they may have high contrast with white.

Schauss pink was originally created by mixing one gallon of white indoor latex paint with one pint of red trim semi-gloss outdoor paint. Studies into the cognitive effect of this color were conducted at the Naval Correctional Facility in Seattle and it is sometimes known as Baker-Miller pink after the directors of this institution at the time. It is also colloquially known as Drunk Tank Pink.
