Color Psychology

Terracotta sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Kiln Black is the swatch that breaks rank: a single brown that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 64 percent with Terracotta at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Raw Clay and Celadon Cream are close enough in hue and lightness that most people will read them as one colour, which makes them a pair to separate rather than two choices to spend.
