Coral Color

Coral is the confident middle ground between pink and orange — warm, energetic, and impossible to ignore. It is a go-to for call-to-action buttons, summer branding, and any design that needs a friendly jolt of color.

Use it as the hero accent on neutral backgrounds; it pairs beautifully with navy.
