Technolust
Also known as: Hottest of Pinks , Bubblegum , Atomic Pink , Darling Bud
A vivid pink with a playful and warm character, Technolust works well for soft backgrounds and beauty and fashion. Its complement lands in green territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (9.71:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
