Botticelli
Also known as: Eye Popping Cherry , Infectious Love , King’s Plum Pie , Purple Anxiety
Part of the pink family, Botticelli pairs a rich base with a playful and warm presence. It belongs in romantic branding and children's products. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (6.43:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Botticelli works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds. It passes WCAG AA as-is.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- 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.
- Branding: Premium territory: beauty, creative tools, and boutique brands lean on this range.
