Lead Line sets the weight of the palette in optimism and clarity, and Glass Green is the swatch that breaks rank: a single green that stops the set reading as one note. Lead Line to Clear Panel spans 80 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Glass Gold 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.

Clear Panel a pale butter yellow, gentle brightness, comfort more than alarm.
