A lot of pink

My daughter has been begging me to paint her room pink.  I have put her off for a year, because pink is such a difficult color.  It can easily be so bright that it feels jarring or so light that it feels sickening.  And her room is 10x12 - small.

But there are few things that I like more than changing the color of a wall.  So, I am going for it.  I narrowed it down to these options (paint chips next to window frame) -




I browsed www.houzz.com for photos of pink rooms.  (That is a fabulous website for decorating advice.  It is also a great way to find design professionals in your area.)  I tend to like the darker shades better.

Although, this light pink works because of the gorgeous layering -

I like bold colors, so I'm leaning toward "taste of berry" (the darkest paint chip in the first photo).  I'm hoping to get started by the end of the week.
