Joanna Gaines Says This Timeless Pink Paint Shade Will Never Go Out Of Style

Timeless elegance comes naturally for home designer Joanna Gaines, who has a true talent for selecting the perfect color scheme to elevate a space. With her paint line, Gaines sought to tell a story, choosing colors that reminded her of her kids, husband, and home. Though there are some paint colors Gaines can't get behind, she has many favorites in the line, such as the bold Duke grey, peaceful Olive Grove green, or — the classic color that is always in style — Ella Rose pink. Described as a pale neutral pink with an accent of peach, it is a warm shade that makes any room cozy and inviting.

Ella Rose is a paint color near and dear to Gaines' heart. In her Home interview (via YouTube), she shared, "This shade of pink is such a pretty color. I think it's a true classic that won't ever go out of style, and that's why I chose my grandmother's middle name and my oldest daughter's middle name to describe it." On the Magnolia site, she further elaborated on why she named the paint after them, "Because both of them are timeless beauties, equally gracious and graceful."

For such a calming color, Ella Rose pink certainly makes an impact. TikTok user @sharedaffections transformed her "sad beige" bedroom into an relaxing oasis, describing her Ella Rose paint as "the perfect earthy, calming, cozy pink." Evoking a sense of warmth and comfort is surely something that will never go out of style. 

Reviews on the Magnolia site rave about the paint's quality and versatility. One customer described the color as "sweet and fun enough for little girls, but still neutral and classic to grow with them." Another said, "I just painted my study with Ella Rose (matte). It's a beautiful color. It is light and sophisticated." One, who used it for a laundry room said, "It is perfect — such a beautiful timeless color, it warms up the space and makes me so happy!"

Even someone who didn't ultimately choose Ella Rose for their walls left a review sharing their appreciation for the peel-and-stick sample. "Although we did not end up purchasing the paint color, it was so nice to have the sticker option. We left it up for two weeks to test the color in different light and then took it down," they said. Keeping the changing light in mind is important when deciding on any paint color. Another buyer described the lighting variation of Ella Rose, "Different times of the day give a soft sunset glow to a tannish pink in the evening."

You can find the Ella Rose premium interior paint at Magnolia from about $55 to $60 per gallon depending on the finish you choose, whether it's matte, satin, or eggshell gloss, or purchase the matte peel sample for $3.49. It also comes in classic interior, exterior, chalk style, and trim, door, and cabinetry paint ranging from around $31 to $66, depending on the size and finish. You can even find a sprayable chalk paint version at Lowe's for $14.98. 

Because this paint color is so classic, it is also versatile, making it suitable for virtually any space from bedrooms to bathrooms to laundry rooms. For example, Gaines once paired Ella Rose paint in a living room with a cream-colored couch and natural elements like wood and clay. You can also consider some of these color rules Gaines swears by, such as using neutrals, like Ella Rose pink, in high traffic areas or using muted colors on trim work to create contrast and accentuate your paint. 

The potential of Ella Rose pink goes beyond just walls. It can even level up your home's exterior or be used to customize furniture and decor. Gaines used the color in a YouTube video to show off how chalk paint can create a distressed footboard for a bed that would be perfect for a child's room or elegant guest room. Whether you're going for a rustic, cozy vibe or a clean, sophisticated aesthetic, this is a color made to adapt to your personal style.
