Camellia
Also known as: Jinzamomi Pink, Coral Quartz, Rose Fusion, Flattered Flamingo
Camellia is what happens when red turns soft and vivid. The effect is bold and energetic, made for call-to-action buttons and food 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, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
