Chewing Gum
Also known as: Perfect Pink, Strawberry Yoghurt, Naked Rose, Deeply Embarrassed
Chewing Gum brings a bold and energetic feel to any palette. This soft red is a natural fit for call-to-action buttons and food branding. Reach for a cyan companion shade to give Chewing Gum maximum contrast. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (11.19:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Chewing Gum works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- 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.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
