Cherry Blossom

Cherry Blossom (#FFB7C5) 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 (348°, 100%, 86%) 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 pink of Japanese sakura blooms that peak for a week each April. A cultural shorthand for the ephemeral — Heian-era poets wrote about the scatter of petals; modern Japan tracks the bloom front on national news.
