Pink Color Combinations

Sakura, nadeshiko, usubeni — the full nuanced range of Japanese pink.

The Japanese vocabulary for pink is among the world's largest, because the cultural attention paid to flowers — sakura (cherry), nadeshiko (wild pink), momo (peach), tsubaki (camellia) — produced a name for every shade. Wada's pinks are unusually pale by Western design standards; the saturated pinks of mid-20th-century Western fashion are absent. Most live in the usuiro (light, faint) register.
