A sunset of pale yellow fading soft pink at the bottom, blending into a deep periwinkle and navy night sky above. On the "Dawn" products, night turns to day and the darkness in the sky is consumed by the brilliant shades of the fiery sun. Bright orange skies melt from peach to mauve then into an intense violet.
