Tomato Red to Acid Lime

A gradient that detonates — tomato red at the centre exploding into acid lime at the edges. The 315° anchor places red at the upper-left and pushes lime into the lower-right. Both ends sit at maximum saturation, which is why this gradient cannot be subtle. Made for sport campaigns, energy brands, food (think tomato + basil), youth-culture moments where 'too much' is the operating principle.

About this gradient

A gradient that detonates — tomato red at the centre exploding into acid lime at the edges. The 315° anchor places red at the upper-left and pushes lime into the lower-right. Both ends sit at maximum saturation, which is why this gradient cannot be subtle. Made for sport campaigns, energy brands, food (think tomato + basil), youth-culture moments where 'too much' is the operating principle.

Colour story

#FF5657 is tomato red (HSL 360°, 100% S, 67% L) — pure saturation, the red of fresh tomato flesh. #96FF36 is acid lime (HSL 95°, 100% S, 60% L). Matched 100% saturation creates the gradient's voltage; the 95° hue gap is split-complementary tension at maximum settings. Mid-radial reads through orange — the warmth that bridges hot and cool.

#96FF36

Where to use it

  • Sport drinks, energy bars, sports nutrition packaging
  • Italian food / pizzeria branding — tomato red + basil green is the immediate read
  • Festival posters, summer concert series, outdoor event marketing
  • Youth-culture brand drops — streetwear, skate, BMX, gaming

Design tips

  • ·Body text: pure black or near-black — both ends fail mid-tone copy
  • ·Use ONCE per page — this gradient burns out the eye on repeat
  • ·Pair with sharp typography and decisive layout — soft shadows look weak against this saturation
