Watermelon Sugar is a vivid complementary color palette tagged summer, food, red. Near-complementary hues (about 161° 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.

Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its complementary hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (86% down to 38% lightness). A natural fit for menus and packaging.
- Background: Ice (#C7EFCF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Fern (#3D8361) on #C7EFCF gives 3.61:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Watermelon (#FF5E78) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Tulip (#FF8A9B) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
