Color Psychology

Veined Marble sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Plinth Dark is the swatch that breaks rank: a single black that stops the set reading as one note. Plinth Dark to White Marble spans 85 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. White Marble 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.

Veined Marble#A09080

Warm Marble#D0C8B8

Warm Marble a burnt or terracotta orange, warmth read through a rustic, sun-worn filter.

White Marble#F0ECE4
