Black Light sets the weight of the palette in luxury and creativity, and Neon Magenta is the swatch that breaks rank: a single pink that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 70 percent with Player Blue at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Black Light and Score Yellow sit 52 points of lightness apart, enough to separate a foreground from a background without forcing it.
Black Light a deep aubergine or eggplant, luxury deepened into something almost solemn.
Cabinet Purple a saturated violet or amethyst: creativity and luxury with real confidence.
Neon Magenta a hot, saturated pink: playful, confident, deliberately unserious.
Player Blue an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
Score Yellow an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
