Warmer blush-pink for soft, romantic accents
About Love Affair
Love Affair reads like a softened blush that still refuses to go powdery. Against the brighter Cotton Candy Comet and the gentle, "almost disappears" Candy Cane, this one lands a bit deeper and more saturated, with a quieter warmth that feels deliberate instead of playful. It's not frosty and it's not hot, more like a rosy red-leaning tint with a smooth, settled finish.
I use it when a UI needs a warm red-family accent for skincare product screens, loyalty/profile badges, and confirmation states in e-commerce and retail apps. It also works well for touchpoints that need calm confidence, like hero card backgrounds, selected tabs, and micro-prompts in wellness experiences where you want noticeable warmth without the sugar rush.
One practical note: keep an eye on pairing with very pale pinks. Compared to Cotton Candy Comet, Love Affair holds up better near neutrals, but it can feel heavy next to near-whites that are already warm.
