Witching Hour is a vivid dark, complementary color palette tagged halloween, dark, vibrant. Indigo and Tangerine sit nearly opposite on the color wheel, so the pairing has real energy; keep one as the accent. These are bold, punchy colors that need generous white space around them. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.
