Commercial performance

Love In A Million Shades debuted at number seven in its first week of release, but spent only five weeks on the chart in total, descending rapidly after its debut. Despite being critically acclaimed as possibly Pakarinen's strongest album to date, it failed to garner commercial success and as a result, sold only 7,000 copies. To date, it is Pakarinen's only album not to achieve gold status (15,000 copies sold).

Singles

• "Make Believe", the first single from the album received only a promotional release, a move previously seen with "Go Go" from Pakarinen's third album Lovers. The single therefore did not chart.

• "Shout It Out Loud" was the album's second single and was the first (and only) single from Love In A Million Shades to receive a full commercial release. It peaked at number 2 on the Finnish albums chart, Pakarinen's highest entry since her debut single, "Love Is Like A Song" in 2004. Given the single's success, the parent album's subsequently low chart position was even more surprising.

• "Love In A Million Shades", the album's title track, was the third single. although only released as a promotional single, it was accompanied by a music video, Pakarinen's first in almost two years.

• "Rescue Me" was the fourth and final single released from the album. It was released only to promote the album's supportive tour, as a result, did not chart.
