Color choices
Candles can begin with warm ivory or deep plum, then shade the dripping wax slightly darker. Fill the marigold petals with golden yellow, orange, and rust, keeping their centers dark for contrast. Use leafy greens on the foliage and pointed leaves, with coral or burgundy on the loose petals. Finish the flames with yellow cores and orange edges against a pale background.
Petal Color Rhythm
Alternate warm shades across the layered marigold petals, then repeat the same color sequence on the loose petals below.
