Nipple
Also known as: Wild Party, Canyon Rose, Deep Bloom, Brandied Apricot
Nipple sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a gentle red that feels confident and commanding. Try it in sale banners and sportswear. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (6.02:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Nipple 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: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
