Color Psychology

Dark Void sets the weight of the palette in boldness and unconventionality, and Silver Gloss is the swatch that breaks rank: a single indigo that stops the set reading as one note. Dark Void to Pale Lavender spans 91 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 67 percent with Pale Lavender at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page.
