How to use them
Use a light shade as a page or card tint and a darker shade of the same family for the text on it, so the two feel related.
Standouts in this group
- Darkest: Shrimp (#E29A86), at 75% lightness.
- Lightest: Bunny Tail (#FFE3F4), at 94% lightness.
- Most saturated: Atomic Pink (#FB7EFD).
- Best text color on white: Tulip (#FF878D), at 2.30:1.
What the numbers say
Across all 177 pink shades in the library, lightness runs from 12% to 94%. 42 of them reach 4.5 to 1 on white, so they can be used as text on a light page, and 135 reach 4.5 to 1 on near-black, so they can be used as text on a dark page. The rest are for fills, surfaces and large type, where the requirement is lower. Within the light, airy shades the figures are different: 0 of 107 pass on white.
Pairing with other families
The base pink (#EC4899) separates best from beige (2.51:1), yellow (2.14:1) and brown (2.08:1). Because pink stands for care, romance and youth, those pairings carry the most contrast of both color and meaning.
