Bakelite Dark sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Brown Bakelite is the swatch that breaks rank: a single brown that stops the set reading as one note. Bakelite Dark to Warm Glow spans 78 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Dial Amber is the loudest thing in the set and every swatch beside it is warm too, which gives the palette no way to cool a page down and no colour to rest an eye on.
Bakelite Dark a deep rust or umber, orange's heat banked into something earthy and lived-in.
Brown Bakelite grounds a palette: stability, reliability, the color of wood, soil, and things built to last.
Dial Amber signals warmth, approachability, and creative energy, friendlier than red, louder than yellow.
Cloth Speaker signals warmth, approachability, and creative energy, friendlier than red, louder than yellow.
Warm Glow a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.
