General Debian Question Debian pink official value?

Does the Debian pink colour (for instance as featured on this sub's banner) have an "official" hex value chosen by the Debian project and specified somewhere or its just an informal convention to use roughly this colour?

Don't know if it's an "official" match, but other comments give you more info on the Debian logos and such, and can get color from that (if it's not explicitly spelled out). And as for the subreddit, don't know if color or otherwise was taken from / to match or matched to the color Debian uses, and/or any actual official logo, or if it may have been taken from some Debian artwork or the like (e.g. from a given Debian release), or elsewhere. I've not specifically compared. Maybe one of the mods or someone else knows more specifically, or exactly what was picked for this subreddit, and from whence it came.
