Color Psychology

Storm Grey sets the weight of the palette in neutrality and balance, and Shell Black is the swatch that breaks rank: a single black that stops the set reading as one note. Shell Black to Reflective Grey spans 73 points of lightness, so the palette can carry its own hierarchy without reaching for a second one. Storm Grey, Shell Black carry no hue at all, so 3 of the 5 swatches are doing every bit of the colour work.

Storm Grey#5A6068

Storm Grey is true neutrality, balance and restraint, a color that recedes so the palette's other choices can carry the emotional weight.

Shell Black#111214

Shell Black reads as pure authority: sophistication, power, and the visual weight that makes everything placed near it feel more serious.

Slate Blue#2F6F8F

Slate Blue is the most trusted color in color psychology: competence, stability, calm, used constantly by institutions that need to be believed.

Moss#4B5D3A

Moss a soft moss-yellow, novelty settled into something more natural.

Reflective Grey#C9CDD2

Reflective Grey functions as quiet breathing room, understated, unobtrusive, built to let other colors do the talking.

The Aesthetic

Function shown in the garment: articulated joints, mapped ventilation, taped seams, purposeful closures and a shell that keeps real weather out
