Stellar Strawberry

Richer strawberry pink for confident red highlights
About Stellar Strawberry
I always notice Stellar Strawberry as the red that feels like it's been brightened with soft daylight. It's warmer and cleaner than Brink Pink, with more lift and less "stillness," and it doesn't veer toward magenta the way Fuchsia Fever can. Compared with Pansy, it holds onto true red energy instead of sliding into rosy-mauve.
This is the shade I use when you need a primary highlight that reads energetic but not alarm-hot, especially in dashboards and finance apps where the callout needs to look fresh, not fuchsia. In healthcare UI, it works nicely for positive states like active or checked, where you want optimism without that clinical punch. It also shows up well in media and e-commerce for featured badges and "top pick" tags, because it stays legible at typical UI sizes.
One quirk: on very warm backgrounds it can look slightly more coral, so keep your reds near it consistent if you're building a token set.
