Chalk Paint Color Theory - Scandinavian Pink

One of the traditional colors found in much Swedish furniture, we use it underneath and as a color for interiors of cupboards and drawers.

King Gustav III of Sweden was heavily influenced by French politics and French decoration. He introduced French Neo-classical style to Sweden
Gustavian interiors were light and elegant interpretations of the Louis XVI style, with echoes of English, German and Dutch influences

Find it used in combination in the Traditional Swedish Palette
Reduced using Old White


Scandinavian Pink is definitely one of the under used colors, but it does make for a beautiful accent, don't you think?

  1. Beautiful accent color. I've never used it before, but am inspired. I also like it toned down to the lightest shade with old white.
