Piglet
Also known as: Delhi Dance Pink , Cotton Candy Comet , Pink and Sleek , A Lot of Love
On screen, Piglet registers as playful and warm: a pale pink at home in soft backgrounds and beauty and fashion. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (13.61:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Piglet works
- Web & UI: A natural surface tint: use it for cards, section backgrounds, or hover states instead of flat white.
- Interiors: A softer alternative to builder's white for walls, trim, or ceilings. It turns warmer under evening light.
- 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.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
