Abloom
Also known as: Salmon Flush, Blushing Senorita, Feather Boa, Pink Cardoon
Quietly confident and commanding, Abloom is a warm-toned red that earns its keep in food branding and sale banners. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (14.16:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Abloom works
- Web & UI: Too light for text, ideal as a background wash that keeps a page from feeling sterile.
- Interiors: Wall-to-wall safe: it behaves like a white with personality, especially in north-facing rooms.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Commands attention in logos and packaging; balance it with generous neutral space.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
