Hermosa Pink

#f9c1ce

Hermosa Pink is a soft, milky pink with a cool undertone, light enough (L* 83) that it reads almost like blush on porcelain. Its red lean is gentle and it carries virtually no yellow, which keeps it from turning peachy. Wada sets it beside Pansy Purple for a deep berry-and-petal contrast, and against Calamine BLue or Cerulian Blue it becomes fresh and airy. With a ratio of about 1.6:1 on white it cannot carry text there, but black type on it reads easily at 13.5:1. Use it for nursery walls, tissue-paper packaging or the ground of a botanical print.
