Cabaret
Also known as: Strawberry Moon , Eros Pink , Tropical Smoothie , Rapture Rose
Cabaret sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a lively red that feels confident and commanding. Try it in sale banners and sportswear. 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 (5.02:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Cabaret works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent. Pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- 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: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
