With the mentality of eating melon, I searched for this "KFC Grandpa Zizai Tea".
Objectively speaking, although the pink logo has changed from the previous red color, and it does look a bit like a copycat, the overall design is not bad, fresh and cute.
Doesn’t it say, “Red and green are so ugly that they race bullshit”?
On the hue circle, red and green are about 180° apart and are a set of complementary colors.
Because the colors are so different, when put together they often make us feel disharmonious and eye-catching.
