Every swatch belongs to the same family, Burnt Umber included, so warmth, creativity, approachability run through the palette with nothing to argue against them. Burnt Umber to Raw Canvas spans 82 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 67 percent with Cadmium Orange at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page.
