Studio Void sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Crimson Lake is the swatch that breaks rank: a single red that stops the set reading as one note. Studio Void to Pale Canvas spans 79 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 61 percent with Crimson Lake at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page.
