Carnation is a very light pink, about halfway between pink and white. Occasionally a granite facade is light enough to fall within this color range. It is most commonly produced through paint or tile-glazing.
Hex triplet: FFC0CB
Carnation is lighter than the medium pink range. It can result from natural stone color as well as paint or glaze. The hex triplet is a comparison sample for a range of similar facade colors, rather than an exact-match requirement.
