Pastel rather than punchy, this mellow salmon tone softens red into something gentle and approachable. Its lightness works well as a dominant background for spring themes, baby products, and food packaging, though white type gets lost on it, so lean on black text, which clears contrast checks at about 9.0:1. Pair #f28f77 with deep teal for a warmer take on complementary color, or browse other shades of pink for close relatives.
