Guava Flesh

October 11, 2025

This hue is inspired by the vibrant pink-red interior of ripe guava, the sweet, aromatic fruit of Psidium guajava. The flesh’s warm tone comes from carotenoid pigments—particularly lycopene and β-carotene—the same compounds responsible for the red of watermelon and tomatoes. These pigments intensify as the fruit ripens, creating a glowing pink core surrounded by its pale green skin. Both visually striking and nutritionally rich, the color of guava flesh captures the essence of tropical ripeness: lush, fragrant, and full of sun-fed sweetness.
