One of my favorite suppliers, B& D Lilies, shows pinks by color. Here are the light to medium pinks. I myself grow Sorbonne and it is an incredibly reliable Oriental. I am about to order Bellsong, which I think is lovely:

Sorbonne is about to bloom in my yard (I love it so much it is in three places). Here is a picture of Sorbonne from years ago. These were in quite a bit of shade, so I had to stake some of them. In full sun, where they are now, they are coming up straight as soldiers at attention.

They also have a category of rich pink to rose:

I have Acapulco, which I grew in a pot last year since I was moving. It is the lily to the right (the left one is Halifax). It blooms in July, and it is exquisite.

Both of these lilies are recommended by B&D because of their reliability. Orientals can be fussy, and they suggested these two, and they have been winners for me.
