Soft Pink

#E89EB8

What color is Soft Pink?

Soft pink is a pale, warm pink with a gentle rosy tone, hex #E89EB8, similar in depth to a faded peony petal. It carries more color than a blush but stays light and delicate without veering into red.

What is the meaning of the color Soft Pink?

Pink as a distinct color category appeared in European fashion and decorative arts by the early 18th century, when soft, powdery pinks were popular in French rococo interiors and textiles. The pale, desaturated version associated with softness and femininity became a cultural fixture after a 1918 trade publication, Earnshaw’s Infants’ Department, noted that pink was being adopted for girls in American retail. That association strengthened through the 20th century and was anchored commercially when Mattel introduced the Barbie doll in 1959, making soft pink a central part of its brand identity for decades.
