Piggy Dreams
A gentle pastel peach with soft warmth
Piggy Dreams is a desaturated, pastel peach with warm, reddish undertones. Because it is so light and airy, it functions best as a supporting background tone rather than a dominant feature. It pairs cleanly with deep charcoals or slate blues to anchor its sweetness. This hex code, #ffcbc4, provides excellent contrast for black text, making it a functional choice for readable UI designs.
