Bubblegum color meaning
Bubblegum is a soft and airy pink — a warm color at 88% lightness and 100% 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 soft and airy, bubblegum works best for backgrounds, walls, baby rooms, wedding stationery and large calm surfaces. As text on white it would be too faint (1.5:1), so use it for fills and backgrounds and put black text on top (13.8:1).
