Harvest Chili & Tulip is a vivid dark, complementary color palette tagged blue, pink. Lapis and Tulip 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 strong light-to-dark ladder (76% down to 19% lightness). A natural fit for dark-mode interfaces and gaming.
- Background: Tulip (#F59D8E) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Lapis (#005284) on #F59D8E gives 3.97:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Spruce (#006159) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (3.54:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
- Accent: Chili (#B52E00) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
