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 muted, softly saturated shades the figures are different: 9 of 72 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.
