What color is Dirty Pink?

Dirty pink is not an official Pantone or Crayola color name but a descriptive, informal color term used in fashion, interior design, and cosmetics to describe a muted, desaturated, slightly grayish or brownish pink that is not bright or pastel. Unlike bubblegum pink or hot pink which are vivid and saturated, dirty pink is more subdued, dusty, and vintage looking, as if the pink has been mixed with a little gray, beige, or brown to tone it down. It is sometimes also called dusty pink, muted pink, or vintage pink. Visually, it falls somewhere between mauve, dusty rose, and blush pink, often with a warm, earthy undertone. In hex terms, dirty pink might be around #C78B8B or #D4A0A0 or #B76E79, depending on the interpretation, all of which are medium desaturated pinks with brown or gray hints. In fashion, dirty pink is popular because it is more sophisticated and wearable than bright pink, works well as a neutral, and pairs well with grays, denims, creams, and olives. In makeup, dirty pink lipsticks are described as MLBB or my lips but better shades that are muted rose.
