The colour palette, which includes a range of pink shades from beige to salmon, has been in the top five trending colours on instagram for two years and counting.


While some say millennial pink is here to stay, others are claiming hot pink is about to knock it off its perch. Either way, we're channeling Funny Face, so 'think pink!'
