Pink Ink
Also known as: Pucker Up , Cyberpink , Retro Pink Pop , Office Neon Light
Pink Ink brings a passionate and urgent feel to a palette. This medium red suits call-to-action buttons and food branding. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (5.61:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Pink Ink 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: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
