Specifically, Hot Pink has a lightness of 71% and a saturation of 100%, bright and airy, ideal as a light background or accent color that creates a soft, comfortable atmosphere; moreover, its saturation is extremely high and its visual tension is strong, so it works best used sparingly as a focal accent. In a word: An icon of the 1980s.
Color Psychology
Pink can evoke tenderness, gentleness and being cared for, with a marked comforting effect; psychologically it symbolizes romance, sweetness and goodwill. For this reason Hot Pink tends to leave a first impression of being gentle and sweet in the viewer’s mind, and this emotional tone also defines the role it plays in design.

In real projects, Hot Pink is also often used as a light background or supporting negative space; in “Pink”-themed designs, the adjacent colors or lightness gradients built around it quickly establish a cohesive, clearly layered color scheme.
