Hot Shadow sets the weight of the palette in urgency and appetite, and Horizon Gold is the swatch that breaks rank: a single orange that stops the set reading as one note. Hot Shadow to White Villa spans 85 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 69 percent with Horizon Gold at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page.
Hot Shadow a deep oxblood or garnet, red aged into authority rather than warning.

Horizon Gold a citrus-bright orange: enthusiasm, playfulness, an unmistakable call to attention.
Balearic Blue an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
White Villa a pale butter yellow, gentle brightness, comfort more than alarm.
