Aegean Deep sets the weight of the palette in trust and stability, and Terracotta is the swatch that breaks rank: a single brown that stops the set reading as one note. Aegean Deep to Whitewash spans 82 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 43 percent, present without shouting, with Dome Blue carrying most of it.
Aegean Deep a deep navy or midnight blue, trust deepened into authority and gravity.
Dome Blue an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
Terracotta grounds a palette: stability, reliability, the color of wood, soil, and things built to last.
Warm Stone reads as optimism and clarity, the fastest color to draw the eye, the hardest to ignore.
Whitewash reads as purity and openness, the color of empty space, clarity, and things left deliberately unresolved.
The sun-logic of three thousand years - Cycladic cubes on volcanic caldera, Moroccan riad courtyard cooling, and the Alhambra's geometric water gardens as the mathematical definition of paradise: thick walls, deep shadow, water at the center.
