What color should a WATERMELON candle be?

I have a candle business that I have had for years. One of my popular scents is watermelon. I have always made it RED. However, the other day someone mentioned that it should be GREEN. Which makes sense, so........

If you were buying a watermelon candle - what color would you expect it to be?

GREEN or RED.

I think I'd choose green. It probably goes with more colors in my home than the red. you could also do the salmony-color? But, no matter what color it was....I LOVE watermelon candle smell!!!!

Would RED/GREEN layers be too Christmasy though???

Layering is hard to do and do it well and consistant, but it can be done... I do some red, white, and blue ones for VFW's and 4th of July events.

Maybe if I make them more dark pink (or salmony-color as a PP mentioned) and a lighter green....

the ideas are flowing..... THANKS!
