Tulip
Also known as: Camaron Pink , Red Mull , Strawberry Field , Vinaceous Cinnamon
Tulip is what happens when pink turns soft and vivid. The effect is gentle and approachable, made for romantic branding and children's products. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (9.10:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
