Optimism and clarity carry the palette from Highlighter outward, with the remaining swatches arranged around that rather than competing with it. Highlighter and Ink sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart. Ink and Notebook Paper sit 62 points of lightness apart, enough to separate a foreground from a background without forcing it.
Ink a dusty or steel blue, trust read as quiet reliability rather than corporate polish.
Pencil Grey a dusty or steel blue, trust read as quiet reliability rather than corporate polish.
Highlighter an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
Notebook Paper a pale butter yellow, gentle brightness, comfort more than alarm.
Notebook Tan a mustard or ochre yellow, optimism weathered into something wiser and more textured.
Sketchbook spontaneity, ballpoint and marker energy - the warmth of the human hand made visible in every line and letter
