Jaipur, in the heart of Rajasthan, India, is known as the Pink City because all its buildings are painted various shades of dusty, old rose. Nestled amidst an area of incredible craftsmanship, Jaipur is an endlessly inspiring city that gave its name to this soft, refined pink.
Jaipur Pink is a dusty, earthy pink with a soft undertone. Although inspired by India, this pink can be found throughout countries like France and Italy; it has the look of traditional plasterwork – slightly dirty and muted with a timeless, old-world quality. There's nothing Barbie-esque about this pink!
Jaipur Rose can be lightened to create other shades of pink or Arles can be added to give it a more earthy ochre color.
In India, it pairs well 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 well with strong colors like Tyrian Plum, Cambrian Blue, and Olive to create fresh, modern interiors.
