Notes
Pale Violet Red is the muted, slightly pink-leaning red-purple of dusty flowers. The CSS hex sits between Light Pink and Medium Violet Red, with moderate chroma at mid-high lightness. Editorial, beauty, and floral brands use it as a primary or secondary accent. Pair with cream for a softer palette, or with deep burgundy for tonal depth. Against white it carries enough contrast for headlines and large buttons but is borderline for body text - AA passes at 18px and above; below that, step down to a deeper rose for type use.
