Citrus Stand is a vivid analogous color palette tagged food, light, vibrant. Analogous neighbors on the wheel (Tangerine, Gold, Pistachio) give it a natural, low-tension flow. Saturation runs high, so use the brightest color sparingly and let the others carry the surface area. The overall temperature is warm.

Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its analogous hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (100% down to 50% lightness). A natural fit for menus and packaging.
- Background: White (#FFFFFF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Tangerine (#FF8C00) on #FFFFFF gives 2.33:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Gold (#FFD23F) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Pistachio (#8CC63F) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.

Color-blind check: under protanopia and deuteranopia, Gold and Pistachio become hard to tell apart, so do not rely on that pair alone to carry meaning.
