About All Shades of Pink
All Shades of Pink is a practical colour reference and toolkit focused on one subject: pink. The site helps visitors identify pink shades, compare similar colours, generate palettes, understand digital colour values and make more informed choices when using pink in design.
The site uses a curated local dataset so the same colour records can support the searchable library, matching tools, comparison pages and individual shade references. This keeps the relationships between tools consistent and avoids relying on remote colour APIs for routine calculations.
How colour names are treated
Some colour names have defined digital values in standards such as CSS named colours. Many everyday names do not. Terms such as dusty rose, blush pink and millennial pink can describe ranges of similar colours rather than one universally accepted HEX value. When a name does not have one fixed standard, the site treats its value as a practical reference point rather than an absolute definition.
Commercially or culturally associated names can also vary by source, product and period. The site does not imply affiliation with brands simply because a colour phrase has become common in popular usage.
What the tools calculate
The interactive tools run locally in the browser wherever practical. The matcher compares RGB values in the site's own shade library. The palette generator transforms hue, saturation and lightness values. The comparison tool exposes numeric differences between two named shades. These methods are useful for everyday colour exploration, but they do not reproduce the full complexity of human colour perception or physical colour matching.
Digital colour and real materials
A screen displays RGB light. Paint, ink, textiles, plastics and other materials reflect light and depend on pigments, finishes, manufacturing conditions and illumination. A HEX value can therefore provide a useful digital reference without guaranteeing an identical physical result. Important print, product or material decisions should be proofed in the final medium.
