Testosterose
Also known as: Mauve , Medium Lavender Magenta , Lilac , Pink Sugar
Testosterose brings a imaginative and refined feel to a palette. This pale purple suits creative portfolios and premium packaging. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a green keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (11.27:1), but avoid it as text on white.
