Flamingo color meaning

Flamingo is a bold and energetic pink — a warm color at 77% lightness and 95% 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 bold and energetic, flamingo works best for logos, buttons, highlights, sports kit and anything that should grab attention. As text on white it would be too faint (2.2:1), so use it for fills and backgrounds and put black text on top (9.6:1).
