Dark Street sets the weight of the palette in introspection and intuition, and Danger Signal is the swatch that breaks rank: a single pink that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 81 percent with Danger Signal at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Danger Signal and Dark Street sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart.
Dark Street a near-black indigo, depth, focus, the color of late-night thought.
Smog Sky a near-black indigo, depth, focus, the color of late-night thought.
Danger Signal a hot, saturated pink: playful, confident, deliberately unserious.
System Green an emerald or kelly green: vitality turned all the way up, confident and alive.
Radiation an acid, almost radioactive yellow-green: synthetic, energetic, hard to look away from.
High tech, low life: neon-drenched dystopia with rain-slick streets
