Amber Shift sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Shadow Drift is the swatch that breaks rank: a single brown that stops the set reading as one note. Shadow Drift to Yellowed White spans 76 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Yellowed White 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.
Shadow Drift a near-black espresso brown, weight and gravity without going fully neutral.

Faded Skin signals warmth, approachability, and creative energy, friendlier than red, louder than yellow.
Washed Green a sage or eucalyptus green, growth read through a calmer, more contemplative filter.
Yellowed White a pale butter yellow, gentle brightness, comfort more than alarm.
