Channel
Also known as: My Fair Lady , Silver Strawberry , English Rose , Cor-de-Pele
Channel is what happens when pink turns pale and lively. The effect is playful and warm, made for beauty and fashion and romantic branding. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 13.33:1 on black clears AA.

- 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.
