Ink Black sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Edition Red is the swatch that breaks rank: a single red that stops the set reading as one note. Ink Black to Rice Paper spans 82 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 66 percent with Edition Red at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page.
Ink Black a deep rust or umber, orange's heat banked into something earthy and lived-in.
Edition Red reads as pure adrenaline: alarm, desire, the color of things that move fast.

Raw Umber an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
Rice Paper a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.
