Blush color meaning

Blush is a balanced and versatile pink — a warm color at 62% lightness and 66% saturation. Like other pinks, it is linked with warmth, romance and playfulness. It softens red's intensity into something gentle, caring and approachable.

Because it is balanced and versatile, blush works best for brand colors, illustration, furnishings and accents. As text on white it would be too faint (3.5:1), so use it for fills and backgrounds and put black text on top (6.0:1).
