Pink

Pink (#FF8DA1) is a soft red with a pastel character. It reads calm and airy, with enough chroma to feel intentional rather than washed out. Its HSL profile (349°, 100%, 78%) places it in the highly saturated band at a light lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary teal. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. The CSS keyword Pink — R=255, G=192, B=203 — a soft, slightly cool pink. Named in English after the frilled edge of Dianthus flowers; the verb 'to pink' originally meant to cut a decorative zigzag edge.
