Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its analogous hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (82% down to 50% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.

- Text: Hazelnut (#A4955B) on #FFD1A2 gives 2.12:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Watermelon (#FF7581) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Melon (#FFAF8F) for highlights, badges and hover states.
