# Do you have a soft blush pink cushion fabric?

*Most requests for pink arrive with a condition attached, my friends: not too bright. Two shades on the workshop's charts meet it.*

Also asked as: light pink for my girls' room; After a soft blush pink

> **The quick answer:** The soft blush pinks on the workshop's charts are K31 on the bench-cushion range and velvet 27, a soft rose, on the floor-cushion chart. Neither is a loud pink. Ask for photos first: the workshop's photo of K31 shows it as piping, and one buyer saw velvet 27 lean slightly lilac on arrival. Velvet 26 is a dustier old rose.

## Key facts

- K31, on the bench-cushion range, sits in soft blush territory rather than a strong pink.
- Velvet 27 on the floor-cushion chart is a soft rose pink; velvet 26 is a dustier old rose.
- Velvet 21, called water green, is a light blue-green that suits sage or light-blue rugs.
- Other named shades include parliament blue (darker), ice blue, sour cherry, fuchsia and dried rose.
- The workshop can match a color from a reference photo you send.
- One buyer found velvet 27 looked slightly lilac when it arrived, so ask for photos before ordering.
- Swatches of K31 or velvet 27 are roughly palm-sized, about 4 to 6 in (10 to 15 cm) square; ask for them before the cushion order, since transit time varies with the season.
- Zippered covers come off and wash at 86°F (30°C) max on a gentle cycle, which keeps a pale pink fresh.

## Two pinks that whisper instead of shout

**K31** sits in soft blush territory: a ballet slipper, not bubblegum. No cushion had been made fully in K31 when a buyer asked, so the workshop sent a photo of it as piping against a body fabric.

**Velvet 27** is the soft rose. [Velvet](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/velvet/) carries its color in the pile, so it shifts with the light; one buyer found 27 leaned slightly lilac at home. Daylight never lies; your screen sometimes does. Ask for [a daylight photo or a swatch](https://cushionguide.com/guides/fabric-swatches-before-ordering/) and hold it where the cushion will live. What color is the light in that room at four in the afternoon?

## The soft shades, chart by chart

| Shade | Chart | How it reads |
|---|---|---|
| K31 | Bench range | Soft blush, shown as piping |
| Velvet 27 | Floor-cushion velvet | Soft rose; can lean lilac |
| Velvet 26 | Floor-cushion velvet | Dustier old rose |
| Velvet 21, water green | Same velvet chart | Light blue-green for sage or light-blue rugs |
| Also named | The charts | Parliament blue, ice blue, sour cherry, fuchsia, dried rose |

> **Tailor's margin:** Order blush pink cushion fabric from a daylight photo, not a screen: velvet 27 is a soft rose, yet one buyer saw it lean lilac at home.

> Three soft pinks for cushions: K31, a soft blush; velvet 27, a soft rose; velvet 26, a dustier old rose. None of them shouts.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** How pink is K31, really? I'm after a soft blush.

**The workshop's answer:** K31 sits in soft blush territory rather than a strong pink. No cushion had been made fully in it yet, so the workshop sent a photo of K31 used as piping.

**A common question:** Do you have a soft light pink, or a sage or light blue to go with a rug?

**The workshop's answer:** The pink velvet is 27, a soft rose. Number 21, water green, is a light blue-green that suits sage or light-blue rugs. The workshop can also match a reference photo.

**A common question:** Which linen is closest to sage green?

**The workshop's answer:** L-24, a soft, muted gray-green. L-25 is darker and cooler and can lean slightly teal in daylight. Ask to see L-24 photographed beside a neutral.

## Questions buyers ask next

### Is blush pink the same as dusty rose?

Not quite. On these charts K31 is the soft blush, velvet 27 a soft rose pink and velvet 26 a dustier old rose. For a muted, grown-up pink, ask to see 26 beside 27.

### Why can pink velvet look different at home than on screen?

Velvet pile catches light at different angles, and screens shift warm and cool tones. One buyer saw velvet 27 lean slightly lilac on arrival, so judge a daylight photo near your window.

### Can I try blush pink as piping on a neutral cushion?

Yes, and that is how the workshop's own photo of K31 shows it: a blush line against a body fabric. A thin pink edge lets you live with the shade before committing a whole cushion.
