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.
