Vermilion & Cantaloupe Field is a vivid complementary color palette tagged retro, red, orange. Near-complementary hues (about 177° 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.
