About Cherry Blossom
Cherry Blossom sits in an awkward middle ground, too desaturated to feel like bubblegum, too light to carry the warmth of Berry Butter, but somehow more useful than either. It's the pink that doesn't announce itself. You notice it works before you notice the color.
Reach for it in healthcare and wellness interfaces, beauty apps, onboarding flows where you need a soft entry point. It works on card backgrounds, button states, and secondary UI elements in skincare and meditation products that want to feel approachable without reading as juvenile. The lightness keeps it from competing for attention; the slight warmth keeps it from feeling clinical or washed out the way cooler pinks do.
The real difference from Cotton Candy: this has less presence, more restraint. From Berry Butter: it's noticeably cooler and airier, less substantial. It doesn't need contrast tricks to read, it just occupies space gracefully. Pair it with warm whites and it gains dimension. Against cool grays it stays readable without feeling isolated.
