Palette guide

How to use Cherry Blossom

Overview

The Cherry Blossom palette evokes a sense of delicate elegance and springtime serenity. Dominated by soft pinks like #FFB6C1 and #FFC0CB, it's complemented by the subtle lavender-pink of #DDA0DD and a gentle, almost off-white base, #FFF5EE. This collection is perfect for designers aiming to create an ethereal, romantic, or soothing visual experience. The inclusion of #F7CAC9 provides a slightly warmer pink tone, adding depth without sacrificing the overall lightness. Use this palette to convey softness, tranquility, and natural beauty in digital and print designs, making it ideal for brands focused on wellness, beauty, or delicate craftsmanship.

Best used for

  • Wedding invitations and decor
  • Beauty and skincare branding
  • Feminine fashion and lifestyle blogs
  • Spring-themed events and marketing
  • Children's product design
  • Relaxation and wellness app interfaces

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between #FFF5EE background and any text, especially smaller fonts.
  • Pair darker text (e.g., charcoal) with lighter colors like #FFB6C1 and #FFC0CB for optimal readability.
  • Avoid using #FFB6C1 and #FFC0CB together for text and background as their low contrast might cause issues.
