Rose color codes
Rose color meaning
Rose is a bold and energetic pink — a warm color at 50% 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 bold and energetic, rose works best for logos, buttons, highlights, sports kit and anything that should grab attention. As text on white it would be too faint (3.8:1), so use it for fills and backgrounds and put black text on top (5.6:1).
What colors go with Rose?
Rose pairs well with Spring Green, Fuchsia, Red and Linen: Spring Green sits close to its opposite on the color wheel for strong contrast, Fuchsia and Red are neighbors that keep a scheme calm, and Linen gives the eye somewhere to rest.
