Color Psychology

Night Indigo sets the weight of the palette in introspection and intuition, and Periwinkle is the swatch that breaks rank: a single blue that stops the set reading as one note. Periwinkle and Dusk Slate 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. Night Indigo is the loudest thing in the set and it is still cool, so every accent the palette offers recedes rather than advances.

Night Indigo#16163A

Night Indigo a near-black indigo, depth, focus, the color of late-night thought.

Periwinkle#4050A0

Periwinkle is the most trusted color in color psychology: competence, stability, calm, used constantly by institutions that need to be believed.

Dusk Slate#7070A0

Dusk Slate a soft periwinkle, introspection without heaviness.

Silver Haze#B0B0CC

Silver Haze a soft periwinkle, introspection without heaviness.

Lilac Dusk#D0C8E0

Lilac Dusk a pale lavender-blue, introspection turned gentle and dreamlike.
