Using this palette

Most cherry-blossom palettes are all pink; this one deliberately keeps two real bark-brown tones in the mix, because actual sakura viewing is as much about dark branches silhouetted against pale pink as it is about the pink itself — remove the brown and it stops looking like a tree and starts looking like generic pastel. #3E2723 is the only swatch dark enough for reliable text; use it for headlines or nav against the pink/white fields. #FFC1CC and #FFE4E9 are close in value and best treated as one pink used at two different scales rather than as two competing accents.
