Juicy Pistachio & Melon is a vivid light, complementary color palette tagged food, nature, pastel. Near-complementary hues (about 131° apart) make this a high-contrast, attention-grabbing combination. Saturation runs high, so use the brightest color sparingly and let the others carry the surface area. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.
