Color Psychology

Sleeve Dark sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Brown Vinyl is the swatch that breaks rank: a single brown that stops the set reading as one note. Sleeve Dark to Insert Paper spans 77 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Mustard and Clay are close enough in hue and lightness that most people will read them as one colour, which makes them a pair to separate rather than two choices to spend.

Sleeve Dark#1A1408

Sleeve Dark a deep rust or umber, orange's heat banked into something earthy and lived-in.

Brown Vinyl#6A5020

Brown Vinyl grounds a palette: stability, reliability, the color of wood, soil, and things built to last.

Mustard#C09040

Mustard signals warmth, approachability, and creative energy, friendlier than red, louder than yellow.

Clay#A07848

Clay signals warmth, approachability, and creative energy, friendlier than red, louder than yellow.

Insert Paper#E8DCC4

Insert Paper a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.
