Shadow Green sets the weight of the palette in novelty and freshness, and Rose Madder is the swatch that breaks rank: a single red that stops the set reading as one note. Shadow Green to Ivory Ground spans 74 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Ivory Ground 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 Green a deep olive, chartreuse's edge dulled into camouflage and restraint.
Verdaccio a soft moss-yellow, novelty settled into something more natural.
Warm Flesh signals warmth, approachability, and creative energy, friendlier than red, louder than yellow.
Rose Madder carries urgency and appetite, the color the eye finds first.
Ivory Ground a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.
