Why it works and how to use it

Persimmon & Ocean Glow is a vivid complementary color palette tagged food, orange, blue. Near-complementary hues (about 170° 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.

It works because the lightness range is wide (17% to 83%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for menus and packaging.
