Apple Music

Apple Music's signature pink-to-red gradient palette. The product brand under the Apple parent identity uses a vivid pink-into-red warm gradient as its mark fill and hero accent, paired with the near-black canvas and pure white that Apple deploys across its HIG dark-mode surfaces. The Apple Music identity is the warmest, most chromatic of Apple's service-tier brands — distinct from the monochrome Apple corporate mark — and reads as energetic, expressive, and music-forward against the otherwise restrained Apple system.

Notes
Apple has not published explicit hex values for the Apple Music gradient. The pink and red values here are the third-party-reported approximations. The neutral canvas swatches mirror the iOS / macOS HIG dark-mode system backgrounds (system-background-dark #000000, secondary system-background-dark #1C1C1E) which Apple Music inherits from its parent platform.
