Navy Black sets the weight of the palette in optimism and clarity, and Vermilion is the swatch that breaks rank: a single red that stops the set reading as one note. Navy Black to Newsprint spans 83 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 61 percent with Vermilion at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page.
Navy Black an olive-leaning yellow, cheer pulled toward something more serious.
Vermilion reads as pure adrenaline: alarm, desire, the color of things that move fast.
Mustard a citrus-bright orange: enthusiasm, playfulness, an unmistakable call to attention.
Aged Tan reads as optimism and clarity, the fastest color to draw the eye, the hardest to ignore.
Newsprint a pale butter yellow, gentle brightness, comfort more than alarm.
