Color Psychology

The emotional center of gravity here is neutrality, balance and restraint, pulled off-balance by a single blue accent that keeps the palette from reading as one-note. A moderate value range keeps it legible without feeling harsh, and the saturation stays low across the board, giving it a deliberately restrained, muted character.
