Color Psychology

Midnight Mall sets the weight of the palette in introspection and intuition, and Purple Haze is the swatch that breaks rank: a single purple that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 85 percent with Purple Haze at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Bubble Pink and Midnight Mall sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart.

Midnight Mall#1A1A2E

Midnight Mall a near-black indigo, depth, focus, the color of late-night thought.

Purple Haze#B967FF

Purple Haze a saturated violet or amethyst: creativity and luxury with real confidence.

Bubble Pink#FF71CE

Bubble Pink a hot, saturated magenta: maximum visibility, unapologetically loud.

Electric Blue#01CDFE

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

Mint Green#05FFA1

Mint Green a bright turquoise or peacock teal: tropical, confident, unmistakably alive.
