Embarrassed

Muted blush-red for softer, warmer UI alerts
About Embarrassed
Embarrassed reads like a red-pink that's been slightly softened by daylight, not pushed forward. Next to Brink Pink it feels less composed and a touch lighter, more tentative. Compared with Blush Hour, it gives up some of that heat and forward momentum and stays more "caught off guard" than "coming at you."
In UI terms, this is the one you reach for when you want a visible status color that won't feel like a hard stop. Think healthcare and patient portals for callouts, inline warnings, and badge fills where the interface needs to feel human first. It also shows up nicely in beauty and retail checkout flows for error chips and promotional highlights, especially when the rest of the layout is mostly cool grays.
One caution: Embarrassed can look a little flatter next to the more saturated Coral Paradise, so rely on contrast from typography and spacing, not just the color itself.
