This hue is inspired by the bright, festive red that spirals around a classic candy cane, a holiday treat whose white predecessor traces its origins to 17th-century Europe, with the iconic red stripes emerging in the early 20th century. The vivid color comes from food dyes layered into the sugar as it’s pulled and twisted, creating the crisp stripes now synonymous with winter celebrations. Paired with clean white, this cheerful red evokes peppermint sweetness, frosted windows, and the nostalgia of seasonal traditions—a color that tastes as joyful as it looks.
