Love the paint color Pink Abalone by Behr? Here is everything that you need to know about this coral pink paint color!
I love Pink Abalone – it is still a bright coral color, but it is much lighter and less bold than your average coral. That makes it a lot easier to use in the average home!
I am a pink person in general, but this shade is particularly good to me. It’s pinker than blush but still not too little-girl-pink.

Undertones
This is a beautiful pink color with heavy orange undertones. It also has tan or beige undertones to it. That gives it a warm tone.
These undertones are what gives this color its peach or coral tone. I would say it definitely reads more pink than orange/peach, but it may read more yellow in artificial lighting. Always test swatches in your actual room!
Best Uses for Pink Abalone
Pink Abalone has a lot of potential uses. The light, warm tone means that it could work in a lot of situations. Because it is lighter, it could work in a room with less natural light and not feel too dingy or dark.
Here are my favorite uses for Pink Abalone:
- In any application paired with white + gray marble
- The front door of your home
- For a kitchen island
- For a ceiling or molding
- The exterior or a traditional style house
- A large piece of furniture
- For all of the walls in any room – especially a very large room
