Night Sky sets the weight of the palette in introspection and intuition, and Dark Grid is the swatch that breaks rank: a single purple that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 91 percent with Neon Hot Pink at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Neon Hot Pink and Night Sky sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart.
Night Sky a near-black indigo, depth, focus, the color of late-night thought.
Dark Grid a deep aubergine or eggplant, luxury deepened into something almost solemn.
Neon Hot Pink a hot, saturated pink: playful, confident, deliberately unserious.
Grid Cyan an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
Horizon Orange a citrus-bright orange: enthusiasm, playfulness, an unmistakable call to attention.
