Color Psychology

Safety Orange sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Carbon Ink is the swatch that breaks rank: a single black that stops the set reading as one note. Carbon Ink to Uncoated Stock spans 80 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 62 percent with Safety Orange at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page.

Carbon Ink#171717

Carbon Ink reads as pure authority: sophistication, power, and the visual weight that makes everything placed near it feel more serious.

Safety Orange#FF5A1F

Safety Orange a citrus-bright orange: enthusiasm, playfulness, an unmistakable call to attention.

Process Cobalt#2450D8

Process Cobalt an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.

Fluoro Magenta#E92472

Fluoro Magenta a hot, saturated pink: playful, confident, deliberately unserious.

Uncoated Stock#F3E9D2

Uncoated Stock a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.

The Aesthetic

A stencil-through-mesh process defined by dense flat ink, layered color, halftones, and the productive tension of registration
