Black sets the weight of the palette in urgency and appetite, and Purple is the swatch that breaks rank: a single purple that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 89 percent with Purple at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Black and Teal sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart.
Black a deep oxblood or garnet, red aged into authority rather than warning.
Purple a saturated violet or amethyst: creativity and luxury with real confidence.
Warm Orange a citrus-bright orange: enthusiasm, playfulness, an unmistakable call to attention.
Teal a bright turquoise or peacock teal: tropical, confident, unmistakably alive.
Bright Gold an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
