Tips for pairing them

Use gray as the base and dusty pink as the secondary color. At home, a gray sofa with dusty pink pillows and gold or wood details feels very current. In fashion, a gray coat with a dusty pink sweater is elegant for winter. In design, it works for beauty, wedding or home decor brands.

Contrast between them: 1.8:1. Don’t put text in one color on the other: it’s hard to read.
