Cream Card sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Forest Ink is the swatch that breaks rank: a single green that stops the set reading as one note. Outline Black to Cream Card spans 80 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Cream Card and Biro Blue sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart.
Cream Card a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.
Forest Ink signals growth, balance, and permission, the color of go, of nature, of money in Western contexts.
Tomato Red reads as pure adrenaline: alarm, desire, the color of things that move fast.
Biro Blue an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.
Outline Black a near-black espresso brown, weight and gravity without going fully neutral.
Hand-drawn characters and doodles with humour and personality, used as a brand's voice across cups, labels, stickers and signs
