Lily
Also known as: Hollyhock Pink, Pretty Lady, Taste of Berry, Blackberry Sorbet
A gentle pink with a gentle and approachable character, Lily works beautifully for soft backgrounds and beauty and fashion. Reach for a green companion shade to give Lily maximum contrast. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (8.88:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Lily works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Muted enough to paint all four walls; sample it in both daylight and evening light before committing.
- Fashion: Works as a base layer or outerwear tone that lets brighter pieces do the talking.
- Branding: Signals imagination and indulgence — strong for beauty and creative-market brands.
- 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.
