Cupid

#F5B2C5

Also known as: Rhodonite , Love Spell , Ibis , Fallen Blossoms

Cupid is a pale, vivid pink that reads as playful and warm. It earns its place in beauty and fashion and romantic branding. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (12.06:1), but avoid it as text on white.
