Why it works and how to use it

Candy Cane is a complementary color palette tagged modern, red, white. Near-complementary hues (about 168° apart) make this a high-contrast, attention-grabbing combination. Saturation is moderate, which keeps it flexible for both interfaces and print. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.

It works because the lightness range is wide (34% to 100%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.

Background: White (#FFFFFF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
Text: Fern (#2E7D5B) on #FFFFFF gives 5:1, passing WCAG AA.
Primary: Bubblegum (#F9C5D1) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
Accent: Crimson (#D7263D) for highlights, badges and hover states.

2 of 6 color pairs pass WCAG AA (4.5:1); the strongest is White on Fern at 5:1.
