Studio Linen sets the weight of the palette in warmth and creativity, and Thread Red is the swatch that breaks rank: a single red that stops the set reading as one note. Studio Linen and Cobalt Paper sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart. Saturation averages 55 percent, present without shouting, with Tape Yellow carrying most of it.
Studio Linen a peach or apricot tint, all the friendliness of orange with none of the volume.
Tape Yellow a citrus-bright orange: enthusiasm, playfulness, an unmistakable call to attention.
Thread Red carries urgency and appetite, the color the eye finds first.
Cobalt Paper is the most trusted color in color psychology: competence, stability, calm, used constantly by institutions that need to be believed.
Worktable Brown grounds a palette: stability, reliability, the color of wood, soil, and things built to last.
Assembled imagery held together in plain sight: photograph fragments, coloured paper, stitched thread, transparent tape, pins and hand-made joins
