Gentle Melon & Ballet is a vivid light, complementary color palette tagged pastel, light, muted. Melon and Glacier sit nearly opposite on the color wheel, so the pairing has real energy; keep one as the accent. These are bold, punchy colors that need generous white space around them. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.

Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its complementary hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (91% down to 79% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Glacier (#CCE0FF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Melon (#FDB2B2) on #CCE0FF gives 1.29:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Ballet (#FFD0D0) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Celadon (#C0D9BA) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
