Color Psychology

Stone sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Charred Wood is the swatch that breaks rank: a single yellow that stops the set reading as one note. Charred Wood to Paper White spans 84 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Dark Oak 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.

Charred Wood#1A1810

Charred Wood an olive-leaning yellow, cheer pulled toward something more serious.

Dark Oak#5A4830

Dark Oak a dusty taupe-brown, quiet and unassuming.

Stone#A09078

Stone a burnt or terracotta orange, warmth read through a rustic, sun-worn filter.

Warm Linen#D0C8B8

Warm Linen a burnt or terracotta orange, warmth read through a rustic, sun-worn filter.

Paper White#F0ECE4

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

The Aesthetic
