💡 Professional Tips

Balance Warm and Cool

Always pair tropical blues with warm corals or oranges to create authentic paradise energy.

Use the 60-30-10 Rule 

Apply one dominant tropical color (60%), one supporting tone (30%), and one accent color (10%) for professional color harmony.

Consider Saturation Levels

Mix high-energy bright tropical colors with softer, muted tones to create visual balance and prevent overwhelming designs.
