Color Psychology

Warmth and creativity carry the palette from Kiln Terracotta outward, with the remaining swatches arranged around that rather than competing with it. Paper Cream and Warm Linen are close enough in hue and lightness that most people will read them as one colour, which makes them a pair to separate rather than two choices to spend. Kiln Terracotta leads a set that runs warm the whole way through, so any relief will have to come from lightness rather than from hue.

Soft Charcoal#4A4A48

Soft Charcoal is true neutrality, balance and restraint, a color that recedes so the palette's other choices can carry the emotional weight.

Pressed Sage#7D8B6E

Pressed Sage is true neutrality, balance and restraint, a color that recedes so the palette's other choices can carry the emotional weight.

Kiln Terracotta#C4835A

Kiln Terracotta signals warmth, approachability, and creative energy, friendlier than red, louder than yellow.

Paper Cream#E8DFD0

Paper Cream a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.

Warm Linen#F5F0E8

Warm Linen a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.
