Candy Bar
Also known as: Lavender Candy , Cotton Candy , Pink Cattleya , Little Baby Girl
On screen, Candy Bar registers as playful and warm: a pale pink at home in soft backgrounds and beauty and fashion. Set it against a green accent when you want the combination to pop. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (12.99:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Candy Bar works
- Web & UI: Too light for text, ideal as a background wash that keeps a page from feeling sterile.
- Interiors: Wall-to-wall safe: it behaves like a white with personality, especially in north-facing rooms.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Commands attention in logos and packaging; balance it with generous neutral space.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
