Bare Branch sets the weight of the palette in trust and stability, and Winter White is the swatch that breaks rank: a single orange that stops the set reading as one note. Bare Branch to Winter White spans 76 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 26 percent, present without shouting, with Snow Blue carrying most of it.
