Pastel pink, but not a loud bubblegum shade. #f2aecb is unsaturated and light, so it reads mellow and warm rather than sweet. It works best as a supporting tone behind black text, which hits about 11.7:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA. Next to white it can wash out, so give it a plum or deep teal neighbor.
