Beefy Pink
Also known as: Pretty Petunia , Wisteria Powder , Aquarelle Lilac , Jane Purple
Few purples feel this lively. Beefy Pink leans cool and regal and mysterious, which points it toward premium packaging and fantasy themes. Its complement lands in green territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 12.72:1 on black clears AA.
