Dark Pink
Also known as: Raspberry Sorbet , Raspberry Jam , Royal Banner , Qermez Red
Few reds feel this lively. Dark Pink leans warm and confident and commanding, which points it toward sportswear and call-to-action buttons. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it clears AA for text on white at 4.66:1.

Where Dark Pink works
- Web & UI: Use it directly for text on light surfaces; it clears AA contrast without adjustment.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a 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.
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
