Outline sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Cup Red is the swatch that breaks rank: a single red that stops the set reading as one note. Outline to Watercolour spans 80 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Outline and Sky Blue sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart.
Outline a deep rust or umber, orange's heat banked into something earthy and lived-in.
Cup Red reads as pure adrenaline: alarm, desire, the color of things that move fast.
Sky Blue is the most trusted color in color psychology: competence, stability, calm, used constantly by institutions that need to be believed.
Grass Green sits between yellow and green, a slightly unstable, electric freshness that reads as novel.
Watercolour a pale butter yellow, gentle brightness, comfort more than alarm.
