Fluorescent Pink sets the weight of the palette in compassion and tenderness, and Riso Blue is the swatch that breaks rank: a single blue that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 90 percent with Fluorescent Pink at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Overlap Green and Fluorescent Pink sit 31 points of lightness apart, enough to separate a foreground from a background without forcing it.
Fluorescent Pink a hot, saturated pink: playful, confident, deliberately unserious.
Riso Blue an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
Riso Yellow an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
Overlap Green an emerald or kelly green: vitality turned all the way up, confident and alive.
Misprint Purple has carried luxury and rarity for millennia, historically the most expensive pigment to produce, still read as premium.
Soy-ink layered printing with charming misregistration, halftone grain, and limited spot colours that overlap into unexpected hues
