Washed Flesh sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Monitor Black is the swatch that breaks rank: a single black that stops the set reading as one note. Timestamp Yellow leads a set that runs warm the whole way through, so any relief will have to come from lightness rather than from hue. Monitor Black, Night Olive carry no hue at all, so 3 of the 5 swatches are doing every bit of the colour work.
Monitor Black reads as pure authority: sophistication, power, and the visual weight that makes everything placed near it feel more serious.
Night Olive is black's softer relative, still authoritative, but with enough warmth to feel considered rather than severe.
Washed Flesh a burnt or terracotta orange, warmth read through a rustic, sun-worn filter.
Over White a burnt or terracotta orange, warmth read through a rustic, sun-worn filter.
Timestamp Yellow an acid, almost radioactive yellow-green: synthetic, energetic, hard to look away from.
