Neon Pink sets the weight of the palette in boldness and unconventionality, and Night Dark is the swatch that breaks rank: a single indigo that stops the set reading as one note. Night Dark to Pastel Linen spans 75 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 62 percent with Sunset Orange at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page.
Night Dark a near-black indigo, depth, focus, the color of late-night thought.

Sunset Orange a citrus-bright orange: enthusiasm, playfulness, an unmistakable call to attention.
Vice Teal an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
Pastel Linen a soft mauve-pink, magenta's confidence turned gentle.
