Pansy
Also known as: Oleander Pink , Fuchsia Fever , French Rose , Medium Pink
A vivid pink with a playful and warm character, Pansy works well for soft backgrounds and beauty and fashion. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (6.62:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Pansy works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent. Pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece, a top, scarf, or shoes, against neutral basics.
- Branding: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks. Use sparingly in UI.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Branding: Premium territory: beauty, creative tools, and boutique brands lean on this range.
