Color Psychology

Insulation Dark sets the weight of the palette in growth and balance, and Daylight is the swatch that breaks rank: a single chartreuse that stops the set reading as one note. Insulation Dark to Daylight White spans 73 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 22 percent, present without shouting, with Daylight carrying most of it.

Insulation Dark#2C3C2C

Insulation Dark a deep forest or pine green, growth matured into stability and quiet authority.

Green Wall#4A7C5A

Green Wall a sage or eucalyptus green, growth read through a calmer, more contemplative filter.

Living Roof#A8C89E

Living Roof a sage or eucalyptus green, growth read through a calmer, more contemplative filter.

Daylight#E0EAD8

Daylight a pale lime tint, freshness without the intensity.

Daylight White#F0F0EC

Daylight White reads as purity and openness, the color of empty space, clarity, and things left deliberately unresolved.

The Aesthetic

Architecture as ecological act - passive solar section, cross-ventilated plan, mass timber carbon lock, living roof hydrology, and the discipline of measuring every decision against planetary budget rather than aesthetic preference.
