How to style powder pink for every seasonal colour palette

Powder pink is having a major moment in 2025, and it's quickly becoming one of the season's most coveted colours. But as with any trend colour, the big question is: how do you incorporate it into your wardrobe in a way that suits you and complements your existing pieces? Will it become a rarely worn impulse purchase or a true wardrobe hero?

The secret to making any trend work for you lies in choosing the right version of the colour for your seasonal palette. At Kettlewell, we divide colours into four seasonal palettes, each with distinct characteristics that harmonise with different natural colourings. Finding the perfect powder pink shade for your palette ensures it will integrate seamlessly with your wardrobe and enhance your natural colouring.

Your perfect powder pink by seasonal colour palette

Powder pink for the Spring Palette: Warm and Bright

If you're a Spring, your colours are light, bright, warm-toned, and full of energy. Your ideal powder pink has a definite yellow or peach undertone that keeps it feeling vibrant rather than cool or muted.

Best Spring Palette Colours to Pair with powder pink

• This season's trending chocolate and toffee browns

• Classic denim for an effortless everyday look

• Bolder, stronger pinks from within the Spring palette for a tonal look

Powder pink for the Summer palette: cool and muted

Summer is where powder pink truly feels at home. With your palette's cool undertones and soft, smoky quality, you'll shine in a powder pink with subtle lilac or mauve undertones—the kind that has an almost greyish wash to it.

Best Summer palette colours to pair with powder pink

• Classic denim blues

• Soft bluish greys

• The deeper blues in your palette

• Rich purples and lavenders

• Last season's burgundy pieces

Powder pink for the Autumn palette: rich and warm

For Autumns, powder pink might not seem an obvious choice for your palette of deep, rich, muted tones. However, you can still embrace this trend by selecting a version with depth and warmth—almost a clay-like quality with peach undertones.

Your perfect powder pink should never feel too light or fluffy; it needs that characteristic Autumn richness and weight to harmonise with your palette's anchor colours.

Best Autumn palette colours to pair with powder pink

• Rich chocolate browns

• Olive greens

• Light tans and camel colours

• Warm neutral tones for an effortless look

Powder pink for the Winter palette: clear and crisp

While "powder" might not immediately suggest Winter's crisp, clear, high-contrast palette, your version of powder pink is an icy, cool, barely-there shade that creates magnificent contrast with your palette's deeper colours.

This cool, clear powder pink offers Winters a beautiful alternative to bright white and serves as an elegant base for your most dramatic colour pairings.

Best Winter palette colours to pair with powder pink

• Jet black for maximum contrast

• Inky navy

• Deep pine greens

• Last season's burgundy shades

• Bold jewel tones like fuchsia pink

• Bright blues and greens for a stunning summer statement
