Watermelon Mousse
A whisper of pink, dusted grey
Not the candy pink you might expect, Watermelon Mousse is a luminous, near-grey pink with a soft, powdery finish. Its high lightness makes the hex code #fbe0e8 a natural choice for large surfaces and backgrounds, where black text stays readable at roughly 17:1 contrast. Pair it with deep plum or forest green to keep the sweetness in check. Beside plain white it can wash out, so give it darker neighbors.
