Pink Blush
Also known as: Exclusively Yours , Almond Blossom , Bubblegum Pink , Sweet Caroline
Pink Blush is a pale, vivid pink that reads as playful and warm. It earns its place in romantic branding and children's products. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (11.42:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
