Example HEX: #F59AC7
What does pink communicate?
Pink ranges from gentle and calming to vibrant and expressive. Color associations depend on culture, audience, context and the specific shade used.
Where is pink used?
Use pink for lifestyle brands, beauty products, illustrations and friendly accents. Consider the intended audience and the surrounding visual system before making a decision.
Key properties of pink
Warmth, playfulness and softness. Saturation, lightness and neighboring colors can significantly change how a shade feels. A muted shade may read differently from a bright, saturated version of the same hue.
Design tips and combinations
Try pink with plum, charcoal, burgundy or cream to avoid washed-out layouts. For important text and controls, test contrast rather than assuming a combination is accessible.
Accessibility considerations
For ordinary text, WCAG guidance generally recommends a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, and 3:1 for large text. Do not use color as the only way to communicate important information.
