Color Psychology

Photocopy sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Xerox Black is the swatch that breaks rank: a single black that stops the set reading as one note. Xerox Black to Paper Ground spans 90 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Red Stamp leads a set that runs warm the whole way through, so any relief will have to come from lightness rather than from hue.

Xerox Black#080808

Xerox Black reads as pure authority: sophistication, power, and the visual weight that makes everything placed near it feel more serious.

Copy Dark#303030

Copy Dark is black's softer relative, still authoritative, but with enough warmth to feel considered rather than severe.

Photocopy#D8D0C8

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

Red Stamp#D83820

Red Stamp reads as pure adrenaline: alarm, desire, the color of things that move fast.

Paper Ground#F5F0E8

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