Xoxo
Also known as: Posy Petal , Strawberry Soap , Melon Mist , Carissima
As a soft take on pink, Xoxo carries playful and warm energy that suits beauty and fashion and romantic branding. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 8.45:1 on black clears AA.
