Maiden’s Blush

Blush-pink apricot highlight, lighter than apricot freeze
About Maiden’s Blush
Maiden's Blush looks like the quiet moment between peach and pale butter, the kind of screen tint you notice because it feels soft without going dusty. Compared to Apricot Freeze, it's less cool and less "glaze" crisp. Compared to Gentle Caress, it doesn't tip as pink-forward, so it reads more creamy-yellow than skin-adjacent.
It also sits apart from Cashew Nut by being lighter and more uniformly pastel, so it doesn't float into that tan-beige neutrality. I reach for it when I want a gentle warmth that stays lighter-than-most yellows and doesn't start reading like sunscreen orange or caramel. Great for beauty and wellness product UI where you're working with fluffy photography, and for packaging mockups for lotions, hair masks, and oat-based foods that need a calm, friendly backdrop.
Quick note: it can wash out next to brighter brand yellows. If that happens, pair it with slightly deeper blush, or keep your type and linework in a warmer cream so the whole system stays coherent.
