Playful pastel pink with strawberry-warm undertone
About Poodle Skirt
Poodle Skirt is the pink I notice on a UI swatch that feels freshly pulled from a pastel fabric, not like frosting. It's lighter than Matt Pink, but it doesn't go thin or dusty; the saturation reads cleaner and more present, closer to a candy blush without tipping as sweet as Love Spell.
Compared to Ibis, this one has a smoother, more lifted warmth. I reach for it when you need the one you reach for pink accents that show up as gentle emphasis in retail and lifestyle product flows: category tiles, badge backgrounds, and inline highlights in ecommerce and beauty apps. It also works well in onboarding and account screens for health, where you want "friendly" without drifting toward the cooler, more whispery look of Ibis.
Pair it with warm creams and soft rose-beiges. Against bright whites it can look a bit too eager, and next to deeper pinks it holds its own, but it won't look muted.
