What kind of pink is Lavender Blush?
Every color has a place in the standard vocabulary. This is Lavender Blush's, measured rather than asserted.
Lavender Blush's Munsell numbers: hue 4.1RP, value 9.6 (how light), chroma 3.7 (how vivid). That places it in ISCC-NBS block pale purplish pink, one of 267 named ranges the standard sorts every color into. Chroma 3.7 is low. This is a greyed, muted pink, nearer neutral than vivid, which is why it reads as a surface rather than an accent.
It's already at the edge of what your screen can show for this hue. This color can't go any more saturated and still render.
