Color Psychology

Deep Adobe sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Sienna Clay is the swatch that breaks rank: a single brown that stops the set reading as one note. Deep Adobe to Pale Plaster spans 78 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Deep Adobe is the loudest thing in the set and every swatch beside it is warm too, which gives the palette no way to cool a page down and no colour to rest an eye on.

Deep Adobe#3A1A08

Deep Adobe a deep rust or umber, orange's heat banked into something earthy and lived-in.

Sienna Clay#8A4820

Sienna Clay a saturated leather or cognac brown, richness with real presence.

Adobe Wall#C09060

Adobe Wall signals warmth, approachability, and creative energy, friendlier than red, louder than yellow.

Desert Sand#DEC898

Desert Sand signals warmth, approachability, and creative energy, friendlier than red, louder than yellow.

Pale Plaster#F5ECDC

Pale Plaster a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.
