Pink screen online: #FFC0CB at full screen
Pink is a light, desaturated red: full red with green and blue both held around 75%. That high overall brightness is what makes it useful as a light. A pink screen throws a soft, warm fill that flatters skin without the heavy cast you get from a saturated red or orange.
Beauty and portrait lighting leans on this deliberately — warm, slightly rosy fill light reads as healthy skin, which is why ring lights often ship with a warm gel. A tablet showing this page, propped just off camera, does a passable version of the same thing.
As a test field pink is not very diagnostic, since all three channels are lit. It is a reasonable check for tinting and uniformity across a large panel, where an area running cool will show up as a patch that reads slightly grey.
How to get a full screen pink background
Press the fullscreen button on the player above, or the F key. Escape returns you to the page. On a desktop browser F11 does the same job and hides the browser's own toolbars as well.
The colour box is a control, not a picture: use the hex field to enter any value, pick another shade from the palette, or download the current colour as a PNG at your screen's resolution. Whatever you set is written into the address bar, so the link you copy reproduces exactly what you are looking at.
