Notes
Deep Pink is the high-chroma magenta-pink that powered early 2000s pop branding and shows no sign of fading. The CSS hex is one of the most saturated pink values an sRGB display can produce. Energetic accent only - large fields of Deep Pink fatigue the eye within seconds. Deep teal alongside gives a 90s pop palette; cream pushes it toward a romantic editorial look. Against white the contrast is sufficient for headlines but the saturation can feel aggressive at body text sizes. Body text contrast against white passes AA at headline sizes; below 14px it is borderline.
