Camellia
Also known as: Jinzamomi Pink , Coral Quartz , Rose Fusion , Flattered Flamingo
Camellia is a soft, vivid pink that reads as playful and warm. It earns its place in beauty and fashion and romantic branding. Reach for a cyan companion shade to give Camellia maximum contrast. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (7.05:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Camellia 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: Premium territory: beauty, creative tools, and boutique brands lean on this range.
