The sharp little highlight
A bright rim tells you where a curved surface turns. Find it on the lolly spiral, then notice how quickly it disappears into the jelly.

Sweetness.Below the surface.
Descend through luminous jelly, ribbon currents and a reef made of lollies. Find a colour you didn’t know you were looking for.
WELCOME TO FOMARIKU
SIX SCENES
ONE VERY SWEET OCEAN
Here, a lolly becomes a landmark.
A ribbon becomes a current.
And a little light changes everything.
FIRST LIGHT
A whole sunrise.
Inside a sweet.
The cut face of a citrus jelly catches a narrow beam and scatters it over the sugar below. Thick golden edges glow; little trapped bubbles hold brighter points of light.
Look close. The scene is built from tiny changes in texture, not from a thousand different objects.

Follow
the fold.
Wide ribbons of striped candy turn a narrow passage into a flowing sculpture. The pink edge pulls forward. The aqua fold slips behind. A raspberry gummy gives the eye somewhere to rest.
3
Things to notice: the bright rim, the softly lit middle and the deep violet space between them. The contrast makes the sweet feel solid.
THE LIGHT OBSERVATORY
What colour
is your current?
Blend three colours, turn the light and inspect a single shade. Then keep a colour field or a light recipe for your next creative idea.
YOUR COLOUR FIELD
Move the marker to inspect one solid colour. The bubble is decorative; the PNG contains the colour field only.
01 / SET YOUR LIGHT
Three starting points, not fixed rules. Change one colour and watch how the whole atmosphere shifts.
02 / READ ONE COLOUR
Aa
This reading describes the sampled solid colour only. It does not certify text on the entire gradient, an illustration or a printed surface.
03 / TAKE IT WITH YOU
The PNG is 1200 × 800 pixels. The text recipe includes colours, direction and the sampled contrast reading. Both are made on this device.
FIELD NOTE 03 / THE GUMMY SHOAL
Small sweets.
A sense of motion.
A large raspberry sweet leads the shoal. Smaller citrus gummies and drifting bonbon bubbles make the still image feel as if it is passing by. Follow their spacing before you follow their colour.
THREE WAYS TO LOOK
There is more
than one kind of glow.
The colour held inside
Thicker material carries a deeper shade. The citrus lens uses amber edges and a lighter centre to suggest depth without an outline.
The quiet around it
The dark water gives bright sweets room to shine. In your own colour field, try one deep colour before adding another bright one.
FIELD NOTE 04 / THE SODA SPIRAL
Take the
long way round.
From above, a fizzy current becomes a loose spiral. Gummy rings hold small pockets of calm while sugar bubbles trace the movement between them.
A different viewpoint can make familiar sweets feel completely new. Try describing the shapes before naming the objects.
FIELD NOTE 05 / THE BONBON GROTTO
The sweetest light
comes from within.
At the end of the descent, cut bonbons reveal warm raspberry centres. A cool syrup stream carries a thin line of light into the violet distance.
BEFORE YOU SURFACE
A few things
to know.
Is this a real place or a sweet shop?
No. Fomariku is an imaginary confectionery world made with digital artwork. It does not sell food, organise visits or take bookings.
Does the observatory save my colours?
Your working colours stay in the current page. Download the light recipe or PNG before leaving if you want to keep them. They are not uploaded or put in a public gallery.
What does the contrast number tell me?
It compares your chosen text colour with one sampled solid colour. Other points of a gradient may give a different result. It is not an accessibility certificate for the entire artwork.
Can I explore without sound or animation?
Yes. There is no soundtrack or automatic scene motion. All content works with reduced-motion preferences and ordinary page navigation.
