“If I had [also] used really intense oranges, reds, and yellows on the top side of the cap, then everything would be super bright, noisy, loud, and as a result nothing would really read as being bright”
- Jake Meeks
This approach ensures that the bright color stands out AGAINST the muted colors, creating a balanced and visually appealing design. By avoiding overly intense colors on both sides of the palette, the design avoids becoming too noisy and ensures that the bright elements truly pop and “glow”.
This technique can be applied to various color combinations, always maintaining one bright and one muted complement to achieve the desired glowing effect.
Also, If you work digitally you could always try multiple combinations of color easily. So conversely, you could try reversing the two colors, using the opposite intense bright color for the star of the composition while still maintaining the desaturated look for the darker tones.

All colors fade though. They never stay nice and bright.
