Blush Hour
Also known as: Berlin Pink, Aggressive Salmon, Out of Fashion, Pink Explosion
With its warm undertone, Blush Hour (#FF6F91) comes across as passionate and urgent. Designers reach for it in sportswear and call-to-action buttons. Match it with cyan accents when the design calls for energy over calm. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (7.93:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Blush Hour works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- 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.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
