Girl Crush

Girl Crush looks like a polished mauve-lilac pressed onto smooth paper, with less haze than Foggy Love and no powder drift like Dust of the Moon. Compared to Beefy Pink, it stays clearly cooler and more "purple first," less gray-mauve and more tinted lavender blush.

I use it when I need a cool-toned purple background that still feels substantial, not thin or smoky. In skincare and beauty product pages, it holds up behind hero images and keeps labels readable without feeling sterile. It's also a great fit for community and wellness apps when you want a girl-crush identity in section headers, empty states, or step-by-step onboarding screens. For design systems, it behaves well in mid-weight UI surfaces where you want warmth from the undertone but restraint in the overall mood.

One caution: because it's saturated enough to "show up," pair it with crisp whites or true cool grays, otherwise it can start flirting with mauve-beige neutrals.
