Iridescent Magenta sets the weight of the palette in compassion and tenderness, and Holographic Violet is the swatch that breaks rank: a single purple that stops the set reading as one note. Saturation averages 91 percent with Iridescent Magenta at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page. Iridescent Magenta and Cobalt sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart.
Iridescent Magenta a hot, saturated pink: playful, confident, deliberately unserious.
Holographic Violet a saturated violet or amethyst: creativity and luxury with real confidence.
Cobalt an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
Coral reads as pure adrenaline: alarm, desire, the color of things that move fast.
Acid Lime an acid, almost radioactive yellow-green: synthetic, energetic, hard to look away from.
Technology that looks grown rather than built: porous bone- and coral-like lattices in iridescent glass and resin, from Iris van Herpen's couture to lattice-soled trainers and fragrance
