Pomelo Red

Peachy red for sharp highlights, less dusty
About Pomelo Red
Pomelo Red looks like a peachy-red blush smeared across the edge of a sticky note. It's lighter and more saturated than the pink-leaning Foxy Pink, and it doesn't cool off the way Blush Bomb does. Compared with Passion Potion, it keeps its warmth but feels airier, less like a dye-stain that grabs attention.
In UI terms, I use Pomelo Red for button states and card highlights in beauty onboarding and wellness dashboards when the interaction needs to feel encouraging, not sharply hot. It also works in patient intake flows where you want "this section is active" with a friendlier temperature than Passion Potion, especially on light panels beside soft creams.
Pair it with warm neutrals if you want it to read rounder, or with clean, cool grays if you need to prevent it from drifting toward orange. At small sizes it stays readable, but keep an eye on contrast with low-saturation backgrounds.
