Chantilly
Also known as: Madder Rose , Athena Pink , Cameo Pink , Pink Grapefruit
A lively pink with a gentle and approachable character, Chantilly works well for soft backgrounds and beauty and fashion. Reach for a cyan companion shade to give Chantilly maximum contrast. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (12.28:1), but avoid it as text on white.
