Brown gives the brighter shells a place to pause. For a candy-inspired invitation, start with cream paper and repeat two of the bright colors in small circles, leaving brown for the lettering. Red, yellow, blue, green, orange and brown appear together in the M&M’S character assortment. The HEX swatches here are digital design samples.
