Tussie-Mussie
Also known as: Lily Legs, Misty Memories, British Rose, Persian Delight
Tussie-Mussie is what happens when pink turns pale and lively. The effect is soft and romantic, made for beauty and fashion and romantic branding. Its complement lands in green territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (13.57:1), but avoid it as text on white.
