Page Background sets the weight of the palette in introspection and intuition, and Marquee Magenta is the swatch that breaks rank: a single magenta that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 100 percent with Page Background at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Under Construction and Page Background sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart.
Page Background a saturated ultraviolet-blue: intensity with a mystical, slightly electric edge.
Marquee Magenta a hot, saturated magenta: maximum visibility, unapologetically loud.
Under Construction an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
Guest Book Green an emerald or kelly green: vitality turned all the way up, confident and alive.
New! Red reads as pure adrenaline: alarm, desire, the color of things that move fast.
