Dusk Watermelon & Sienna is a vivid split color palette tagged gradient, warm. A split scheme: Melon plays against Sienna across roughly 71° of hue. Saturation runs high, so use the brightest color sparingly and let the others carry the surface area. The overall temperature is warm.

It works because the lightness range is wide (33% to 83%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
