Crayon Red sets the weight of the palette in urgency and appetite, and Crayon Orange is the swatch that breaks rank: a single orange that stops the set reading as one note. Every swatch sits within 17 points of lightness of the others, so nothing separates from the group on value alone and any hierarchy has to come from hue or placement. Saturation averages 100 percent with Crayon Red at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page.
Crayon Red reads as pure adrenaline: alarm, desire, the color of things that move fast.
Crayon Orange a citrus-bright orange: enthusiasm, playfulness, an unmistakable call to attention.
Crayon Yellow an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
Crayon Green an emerald or kelly green: vitality turned all the way up, confident and alive.
Crayon Blue an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
