Embarrassed
Also known as: Pink Carnation, So Charming, Iced Berry, Pink Sherbet
Embarrassed sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a vivid red that feels confident and commanding. Try it in call-to-action buttons and food branding. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (7.73:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Embarrassed works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- 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.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
