Chewing Gum
Also known as: Perfect Pink , Strawberry Yoghurt , Naked Rose , Deeply Embarrassed
Part of the pink family, Chewing Gum pairs a soft base with a playful and warm presence. It belongs in beauty and fashion and romantic 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.
