Color Psychology

Dream Void sets the weight of the palette in trust and stability, and Dali Sand is the swatch that breaks rank: a single brown that stops the set reading as one note. Dream Void to Flat Sky spans 70 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 55 percent, present without shouting, with Desert Light carrying most of it.
