Terracotta sets the weight of the palette in urgency and appetite, and Sun Yellow is the swatch that breaks rank: a single yellow that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 62 percent with Sun Yellow at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Terracotta and Cobalt sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart.
Terracotta carries urgency and appetite, the color the eye finds first.
Sun Yellow an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
Cobalt an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
Leaf Green signals growth, balance, and permission, the color of go, of nature, of money in Western contexts.
Deep Plum a deep mauve-pink, warmth given some real weight.
