Desire Pink

Desire Pink begins as a pink color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. Its cool classification gives it a crisper edge that may become clearer beside warm timber, cream or brass. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
