Fairy Tale
Also known as: Bunny Cake , Pink Frenzy , Fallen Blossoms , Berries N’ Cream
As a pale take on pink, Fairy Tale carries playful and warm energy that suits beauty and fashion and romantic branding. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a green keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 12.05:1 on black clears AA.
