Shocking Pink

#FB7EFD

Crayola color

Shocking Pink (#FB7EFD) is an electric, vivid pink-magenta in the Crayola palette, calibrated at near-neon brightness in the hot pink family. The name references Elsa Schiaparelli's revolutionary "shocking pink" from her 1937 fragrance — the first major use of electric pink as a high-fashion statement colour. Crayola's version captures the same provocative, attention-demanding energy, used in bold illustration, pop art, and contexts where maximum pink intensity is the goal.
