Ballet
Also known as: Pinky Promise , Wide-Eyed , Lucky You , Lovelight
Expect playful and warm associations from Ballet, a pale pink suited to children's products and soft backgrounds. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (15.42:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Ballet works
- Web & UI: A natural surface tint: use it for cards, section backgrounds, or hover states instead of flat white.
- Interiors: A softer alternative to builder's white for walls, trim, or ceilings. It turns warmer under evening light.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece, a top, scarf, or shoes, against neutral basics.
- Branding: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks. Use sparingly in UI.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
