More Charming Than All the Others: What Makes ktCOLOR Pinks Special

The best colorists have long known the secret to creating exquisite pinks: blending natural reds with sparkling marble whites, avoiding the dullness of artificial pigments. ktCOLOR builds on this timeless tradition, crafting pink shades that are unmatched in charm, warmth, and elegance. Unlike synthetic alternatives, ktCOLOR’s pinks radiate depth and refined vibrancy, bringing a natural appeal to any design. ktCOLOR’s pink palette represents the perfect blend of tradition, artistry, and quality.

A red with the magnificent glow of a sunset.

Luis Barragán understood architecture to be a “sublime act of poetic imagination.” His buildings with their enchanting play of color and light testify to this. This powerful pink, which is attributed to Barragán by some experts, is made with quinacridone magenta, a pigment first manufactured industrially in 1958. In combination with pure chalk, the result is a wall paint that appears to emit rose-colored light. The ability to tint space by virtue of luminous pigments and directed lighting characterizes many of the architect’s colors.
