Rock’n’Rose
Also known as: Strawberry Dreams , Tickle Me Pink , Pinky , Informative Pink
Rock’n’Rose holds a soft position in the pink range and reads as gentle and approachable. You'll see it used for romantic branding and children's products. A cyan counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (9.35:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
