Color Psychology

Ink Outline sets the weight of the palette in novelty and freshness, and Forest Green is the swatch that breaks rank: a single green that stops the set reading as one note. Ink Outline to Vellum spans 81 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Vellum leads a set that runs warm the whole way through, so any relief will have to come from lightness rather than from hue.

Ink Outline#181A10

Ink Outline a deep olive, chartreuse's edge dulled into camouflage and restraint.

Forest Green#3A6030

Forest Green signals growth, balance, and permission, the color of go, of nature, of money in Western contexts.

Leaf Lime#88A858

Leaf Lime a soft moss-yellow, novelty settled into something more natural.

Bark Brown#A87848

Bark Brown signals warmth, approachability, and creative energy, friendlier than red, louder than yellow.

Vellum#F0EAD8

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