Make the colors work
More than a set of swatches.
Let photographs keep their own color
Tomato Market can frame bright food images without recoloring them. Compare the light panel and page behind several dishes, not just a single matching hero. A neutral caption area helps the interface stay consistent.
Design the ordering details
Prices, allergens and availability should remain readable at normal text sizes. Give the order button a stable role and describe unavailable items with text. Do not use red or green alone to mark dietary categories.
Try it on a real task
Use a representative menu image to extract a starting accent, then crop around the food rather than a bright table prop. Keep the photo-derived color as a reference and let the studio adapt its control roles for contrast.
