Pink Punk
Also known as: Cyclamen , Middle Purple , Peruvian Lily , Fuchsia Blush
A lively pink with a playful and warm character, Pink Punk works well for romantic branding and children's products. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a green keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (7.93:1), but avoid it as text on white.
