Not a candy pink. #d494a3 is a dusty, ashy shade with gray pulling down the saturation, which keeps it warm and mellow instead of sweet. That softness makes it a strong base for beauty packaging, spring themes, and gentle brand work. It looks richer against deep plum than against white. Black text on it hits about 8.6:1 contrast, so small body copy passes AA easily.
