The pōhutukawa — Aotearoa New Zealand's "Christmas tree" — erupts in vermilion blooms each December along basalt cliffs and white-sand beaches. This design system captures that singular moment: deep emerald canopy, Pacific-blue sky, and a decisive stroke of saturated red that signals summer has arrived.

Inspired by Don Binney's bird-and-tree canvases and the Coromandel coastline's warm late-afternoon light, the palette pairs bold vermilion with sclerophyll green on a sky-blue page, using cream postcard surfaces to ground content in coastal warmth.
