Log Dark sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Dark Timber is the swatch that breaks rank: a single brown that stops the set reading as one note. Dark Timber is the loudest thing in the set and every swatch beside it is warm too, which gives the palette no way to cool a page down and no colour to rest an eye on. Log Dark and Smoke Light sit 67 points of lightness apart, enough to separate a foreground from a background without forcing it.
Log Dark a deep rust or umber, orange's heat banked into something earthy and lived-in.
Dark Timber a near-black espresso brown, weight and gravity without going fully neutral.
Turf sits between yellow and green, a slightly unstable, electric freshness that reads as novel.
Hewn Log a burnt or terracotta orange, warmth read through a rustic, sun-worn filter.
Smoke Light a mustard or ochre yellow, optimism weathered into something wiser and more textured.
