Dark Grain sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Warm Wood is the swatch that breaks rank: a single brown that stops the set reading as one note. Dark Grain to Parchment spans 74 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Oak Shadow 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.
