I don't mind softer shades of pink, but I loathe hot pink and some darker shades of pink depending on how the darker shades are used.
Indeed, the more intense shades of pink would work good as a complementary color, accent, or highlight if only a miniscule amount is applied. Otherwise, nope. Although Hyper Light Drifter I would excuse, that game did a good job on the color usage.
I bought a book today, it's called 'How to Be Bored' by Eva Hoffman from The School of Life.
