Why it works and how to use it

Citrus Splash is a vivid split color palette tagged food, summer, vibrant. The hues span about 95°, enough contrast to create a focal point without the harshness of true complements. These are bold, punchy colors that need generous white space around them. The overall temperature is warm.

It works because the lightness steps are gentle (56% to 64%), which keeps the mood consistent from edge to edge. Try it for menus and packaging.

Background: Saffron (#F9C74F) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
Text: Scarlet (#F94144) on #F9C74F gives 2.27:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
Primary: Mandarin (#F3722C) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
Accent: Pistachio (#90BE6D) for highlights, badges and hover states.

No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
