Color Psychology

The emotional center of gravity here is compassion, tenderness and playfulness, 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 high throughout, so the whole palette reads as confident and awake.

compassiontendernessplayfulnesswarmthtruststability
Fluorescent Pink#FF48B0

Fluorescent Pink a hot, saturated pink: playful, confident, deliberately unserious.

Riso Blue#0078BF

Riso Blue an electric or cobalt blue: trust with real conviction, confident rather than passive.

Riso Yellow#FFE800

Riso Yellow an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.

Overlap Green#00A95C

Overlap Green an emerald or kelly green: vitality turned all the way up, confident and alive.

Misprint Purple#8B5FC7

Misprint Purple has carried luxury and rarity for millennia, historically the most expensive pigment to produce, still read as premium.

The Aesthetic

Soy-ink layered printing with charming misregistration, halftone grain, and limited spot colours that overlap into unexpected hues
