The Best Pinks + Blues

Now that so many of my friends are starting to have babies, I am hearing a lot about choosing the right shades for nurseries, which paint swatches look best, and which shades of pink would look most soothing for the crying baby.  And honestly, when I think of pink, I naively think of one shade. So I've been trying to remind myself of all the different hues that are out there, saturated and washed out, and the ones that are appropriate for each season, which tend to be my favorite. I even like doing Summer brights in Fall just to switch things up and keep people on their toes. Vibrant colors--especially pinks--seem to never get old.
