For the watermelon, use a rich, juicy red for the flesh, deep green for the outer rind, and a light green for the inner rind. Add some black for the seeds to make them pop against the red. A few water splashes and a puddle can be filled in with a light blue to create a fun, summery vibe.

For the hippo, start with a cool gray body color, adding a hint of blush pink on the cheeks for coziness. The Santa hat can be classic red with a fluffy white trim, and the scarf can have alternating red and green stripes for a holiday theme. The gifts should be wrapped in bright, festive colors: consider a mix of red, green, blue, and yellow, each with a different pattern or bow. The snowy ground can be shaded with a light blue tint, and the pine trees in the background should be a deep green, creating a cozy winter wonderland.

The cone can be a light tan, while the beach setting around it is enhanced with tropical banana leaves in vibrant greens. The sun overhead should be colored in bright yellow, with a clear, light blue sky to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
