Screen Black sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Bright Output is the swatch that breaks rank: a single yellow that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 100 percent with Screen Black at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Screen Black and Display Dark are close enough in hue and lightness that most people will read them as one colour, which makes them a pair to separate rather than two choices to spend.
Screen Black a deep rust or umber, orange's heat banked into something earthy and lived-in.
Display Dark a deep rust or umber, orange's heat banked into something earthy and lived-in.
Amber Shadow a deep rust or umber, orange's heat banked into something earthy and lived-in.
Active Amber a citrus-bright orange: enthusiasm, playfulness, an unmistakable call to attention.
Bright Output an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
