Hex color #d5af9e graphic
Spring packaging and baby product lines often reach for the hex code #d5af9e, a dusty pastel orange with a rosy undertone. Its low saturation keeps the mood mellow, but it washes out next to plain white, so treat it as a supporting tone. It looks richer under deep navy, and black body text passes contrast easily on it.
