lightpink

Light pink is a pale tint of the color pink. In digital color systems, it corresponds to the CSS named color LightPink, defined as hex #FFB6C1 and RGB values of 255, 182, 193. It is a soft, pastel shade commonly used to convey gentleness, tenderness, and approachability in design.

In color theory, light pink sits on the lighter end of the pink spectrum, between white and deeper pink tones. It is produced by mixing red with a relatively high proportion of white, and its appearance can vary with display and lighting conditions. The term pink itself derives from pink flowers and historical dye practices, while LightPink represents a standardized lighter variant in modern digital palettes.

Light pink is frequently used in branding and design associated with femininity, babies and children's products, weddings, and romantic aesthetics. It serves as a calm background or accent color in user interfaces and graphic compositions, but designers should ensure sufficient contrast when it is used behind text or other foreground elements.

In printing and cross-device color management, light pink is reproduced using CMYK approximations, and its exact shade can vary between printers and materials. On screens, color rendering depends on device calibration and color space settings, which can shift perceived hue and brightness.
