Golden Sun sets the weight of the palette in optimism and clarity, and Dusk Purple is the swatch that breaks rank: a single purple that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 82 percent with Golden Sun at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Golden Sun 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.
Dusk Purple a deep aubergine or eggplant, luxury deepened into something almost solemn.
Warm Orange a citrus-bright orange: enthusiasm, playfulness, an unmistakable call to attention.
Golden Sun an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
Hot Magenta a hot, saturated magenta: maximum visibility, unapologetically loud.
Pale Day a pale butter yellow, gentle brightness, comfort more than alarm.
