Newsprint sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Press Black is the swatch that breaks rank: a single charcoal that stops the set reading as one note. Press Black to Newsprint spans 80 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Saturation averages 67 percent with Process Cyan at the top, which is loud enough that the palette will fight anything else on the page.
Newsprint a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.
Press Black is black's softer relative, still authoritative, but with enough warmth to feel considered rather than severe.
Process Cyan an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
Process Magenta a hot, saturated pink: playful, confident, deliberately unserious.
Process Yellow an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
Continuous tone broken into printed dots: newspaper screens, Ben-Day fields and CMYK rosettes, enlarged until the dot is the image
