At re-box, pink is never icing-sugar sweet — it's a family of muted shades, each carrying a hint of grey, beige or brown. Eight nuances span the range from almost-white powder to a deep dusty rose pulled towards violet. Every shade is mixed only after you place your order.
Buy pink wall paint: eight nuances, two finishes, three tin sizes
This colour family offers eight pink wall paint shades to choose from, plus a freely mixed custom colour. Every shade comes in 2.5, 5 and 10 litres, and in two finishes: matte as re-box base one or silky-matte as re-box silk matte. The price depends only on the quantity, not the finish — so you decide based on the room and how much wear it needs to withstand.
All re-box wall paints are water-based, low in emissions and made in Germany. Colours are mixed only after your order is placed, and delivery within Germany takes 3 to 5 working days from receipt of payment. Because custom-mixed paint is excluded from withdrawal, it's worth taking the detour via the Farbmusterbox 65 Stk: every shade to hold up against your own wall.
How pink comes across in a room
Pink belongs to the warm colours, but not every pink shade is equally warm. With more yellow or brown in the mix, a wall turns soft and cosy. Shift the tone towards blue or grey, and the same surface reads cool, almost stern. That range makes the difference between a bedroom that wraps around you and one that's merely bright.
North-facing rooms get even, slightly bluish light. Cool pink tones lose their colour there and just look grey — choose the warmer nuance with a beige core instead. South-facing rooms work the other way round: warm midday light pushes an already warm tone towards peach. If you want more restraint, reach for the nuance with a hint of grey. In east- and west-facing rooms, pink shifts noticeably over the course of the day, so test a sample in the morning and evening.
The pink family from light to dark
Four subgroups, sorted by lightness. If you know which one you're looking in, you'll save yourself half the sample cards. In a few places, a shade from a neighbouring family is included — it's labelled as such.
Almost white: pink as a mere hint
From two metres away, these tones read as white and only reveal their pink in raking light. Blanc Épuré No. 55 is the clearest of the group and stays light without feeling cold. Lin Clair No. 58 has a linen-like beige core and softens small rooms. From a neighbouring family, Blanc Pêche No. 47 fits right in: it leans towards peach and suits rooms with little daylight.
Warm powder pink with a beige core
This is where pink becomes visible as a colour, yet stays calm enough for whole rooms. Soie Blush No. 59 is the classic powder pink of this category: soft and very compatible with light wood. Pierre Douce No. 41 carries more stone and sand in its tone and feels earthier. Bone China Glow No. 12 sits in a neighbouring family, but falls right in between and pairs well with brass and cream-coloured textiles.
Dusty Pink with a Hint of Grey
As soon as grey enters the mix, pink loses all its sweetness. Muted Rose No. 29 is exactly this muted tone: clearly pink, yet never showy. Rose Ash No. 13 leans further into ash and works beautifully as an all-over colour in bright rooms. Velours Ombre No. 44, from the neighbouring family, is the darker relative for a single wall behind the bed.
Deep Pink Toward Brown and Berry
The darker tones can carry a room on their own. Château Rose No. 38 is a rich, slightly dusty dusty pink with a hint of red, beautiful where candlelight joins in the evening. Aubergine Mist No. 20 leans toward violet and looks almost velvety under artificial light. Berry Veil No. 21 officially belongs to the red family, but visually it fits right in here.
When None of the Eight Tones Is Quite Right
If your ideal shade appears on an old colour card or on a piece of furniture, we'll mix it to match: Custom colour – individually mixed, in the same containers and finishes. If you're torn between two candidates, Anna, the digital colour consultant from re-box, can help you decide.
What Pink Pairs Well With
Pink needs a counterpart, otherwise the room turns soft to the point of blandness. The calmest effect comes from a broken white on ceiling and skirting boards — not a stark pure white that makes the tone look cold, but a warm white from the White range.
- ✔️ Light wood — oak, ash, birch. Their yellow undertone takes the sweetness out of pink.
- ✔️ Dark wood — walnut and smoked oak with the deeper dusty pink tones.
- ✔️ Green — olive and sage are the most reliable partners. A neighbouring wall from the Green family instantly adds maturity.
- ✔️ Warm metals — brass and bronze on handles and lighting; chrome pulls pink toward cool.
- ✔️ Linen and wool — matte textiles pick up the tone, while glossy fabric bounces it back.
Pink in the Living Room, Bedroom, Children's Room, Kitchen and Hallway
Living Room
A medium dusty pink can carry the whole room here. If you don't feel ready to commit to all four walls, paint the surface behind the sofa and keep the rest light. Keep evening light in mind: pink turns noticeably richer under warm artificial light.
Bedroom
This is where pink shows its strongest side. A powdery tone on all walls brings calm, while a deeper dusty pink behind the bed gives the room a centre. Since this room is rarely wiped down, the matte finish is almost always enough.
Children's Room
The challenge here isn't the colour, but the wall at hand height. A light pink tone in matte up top, the same tone in silk matte below: this way, fingerprints can be wiped away without changing the colour.
Kitchen
Pink makes wooden fronts and open shelves look warmer. For surfaces near the stove and sink, silk matte is the sensible choice. The order of the work steps is explained in Painting Your Kitchen: Guide, Cost, Colour.
Hallway
Hallways get little daylight and have many doors. A delicate rose brings warmth to a space that otherwise serves only as a passage. Around light switches and door frames, silk matte pays off.
Matte or Silk Matte — and How Much You'll Need
re-box base one is the matte interior paint for walls and ceilings. Matte scatters the light, unevenness is less noticeable, and the pink tone appears softer. re-box silk matte is the silk-matte version: especially hard-wearing and easy to clean, with a subtle sheen that makes the tone appear clearer.
- 👉 2.5 litres cover approx. 8–10 m² with two coats.
- 👉 5 litres cover approx. 15–20 m² with two coats.
- 👉 10 litres cover approx. 30–40 m² with two coats.
On very dark, strongly coloured, or uneven surfaces, consumption may be higher. All common, load-bearing interior surfaces are suitable; they must be clean, dry and free of loose material. A primer isn't essential, but is recommended for highly absorbent or fresh plaster.

The Same Pink Tone for Furniture and Doors
What works on the wall often works on the cabinet, too. The same shade is also available as furniture and gloss paint: Pink Gloss Paints features the pink tones as re-box protect in a 750 ml container. protect has a silky sheen and stands up to mechanical stress, everyday dirt, and outside influences.
Wall paint and lacquer are two different materials; what's identical is the shade, not the product. On surfaces suitable for lacquer, apply the re-box core primer first, then protect. A wall in Soie Blush and a chest of drawers in the same rosé then read as one idea.
Frequently asked questions about pink wall paint
Which pink shade suits a north-facing room?
Choose a pink with a beige or yellow core, such as Soie Blush No. 59 or Lin Clair No. 58. North light is bluish and pulls cool pinks toward grey, while warm nuances keep their colour. Ashy tones can quickly look washed out there.
Does pink look childish on a wall?
No, as long as the shade is broken. Every pink from re-box contains a touch of grey, beige or brown, and that's exactly what takes the sweetness out of the pink. It only turns childish with pure, saturated pink tones.
How much paint do you need for a bedroom with a 14 m² floor area?
For the four walls, 5 l is usually enough, covering around 15–20 m² with two coats. Multiply the perimeter by the ceiling height and subtract large window and door areas. For absorbent or dark surfaces, plan for one size up.
Can you test a pink shade on your wall beforehand?
Yes, that's what the colour sample box is for, with every shade ready to hold up. This is especially worthwhile with pink, since the tone can look very different depending on the direction of light. Hold the sample against the same wall in the morning, at midday and in the evening.
Is pink wall paint washable?
The silk matte finish is particularly hard-wearing and very easy to clean. That makes it the more practical choice for hallways, kitchens and children's rooms. In the bedroom, base one in matt is almost always enough.
Is your pink also available for doors?
Yes, many pink shades also come as lacquer in the Pink Lacquer Colours category. The shade stays the same, only the material changes: base one or silk matte on the wall, re-box protect on wood after the core primer.
Can you return custom-mixed paint?
No, custom-mixed paint is excluded from withdrawal and exchange. This applies to every shade in this category, since it's only mixed after you place your order. A sample beforehand is therefore the safest way to go.
