Botticelli
Also known as: Eye Popping Cherry, Infectious Love, King’s Plum Pie, Purple Anxiety
As a rich take on pink, Botticelli carries soft and romantic energy that suits beauty and fashion and romantic branding. 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, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: Premium territory: beauty, creative tools, and boutique brands lean on this range.
