Deep Stone sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Carved Shadow is the swatch that breaks rank: a single brown that stops the set reading as one note. Deep Stone to Frieze White spans 83 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Frieze White 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.
Deep Stone a deep rust or umber, orange's heat banked into something earthy and lived-in.
Carved Shadow a dusty taupe-brown, quiet and unassuming.
Weathered Capital a burnt or terracotta orange, warmth read through a rustic, sun-worn filter.
Entablature a mustard or ochre yellow, optimism weathered into something wiser and more textured.
Frieze White a pale butter yellow, gentle brightness, comfort more than alarm.
The grammar of the Western built world - column orders, tripartite elevation, and the Parthenon's optical corrections have been the foundation of architectural education from Vitruvius through the Beaux-Arts.
