Midnight Slate sets the weight of the palette in introspection and intuition, and Signal Cyan is the swatch that breaks rank: a single blue that stops the set reading as one note. Midnight Slate to Grid White spans 81 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Midnight Slate and Card Shadow 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.
