is pink the new neutral?

Edges of a soft pink rose are showcased in this photograph.

    Neutral colors are the platform which most fashion and design elements are built on.  Just look at your closet and you will find your favorite neutrals that bring the pieces together.  Look at your home and somewhere you will find the neutral color that ties the look together.

     I recently realized that I was seeing a large number of photos where pink was used as a neutral color.  I don't mean a bright, hot shade of pink.  This shade is is very pale with a hint of beige undertones.

     The featured photograph this week is a good example of the color I am talking about.  It's very soft and subtle with its own sense of elegance.  I can see it working as the neutral color.

     What about you, would you use this color of pink as a neutral in your home?
