Lavender Blush color meaning
Lavender Blush is a soft and airy white — a warm color at 97% lightness and 100% saturation. Like other whites, it is linked with purity, simplicity and space. It makes rooms and layouts feel larger and cleaner, and lets other colors stand out.
Because it is soft and airy, lavender blush works best for backgrounds, walls, baby rooms, wedding stationery and large calm surfaces. As text on white it would be too faint (1.1:1), so use it for fills and backgrounds and put black text on top (19.0:1).
