Melondrama
Also known as: Coralette, Youthful Coral, Cool Lava, Cosmic Coral
Quietly confident and commanding, Melondrama is a warm-toned red that earns its keep in sale banners and sportswear. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (8.01:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Melondrama works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks — use sparingly in UI.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
