Color Characteristics
Pink evokes cherry blossoms, petals and cream; its soft visual effect makes it almost irreplaceable in beauty, weddings and baby products. Specifically, Dreamy Pink-Yellow has a lightness of 95% and a saturation of 100%, an extremely light tone close to white, ideal as a spacious light background that sets off darker content; 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: The color of Sophie's hat in Howl's Moving Castle — sweet and soft, full of girlish charm.

For this reason Dreamy Pink-Yellow 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.
