Closer to raspberry candy than a soft rose, #c94288 is a saturated, warm pink built to be noticed. Its intensity works best in small doses, so treat it as an accent for buttons, highlights, or packaging rather than a full background. Black text stays readable on it at about 4.6:1 contrast, which clears WCAG AA for body copy. Paired with deep teal, the hex code #c94288 looks punchy instead of sweet.
