01 / The palette

Six colors, one atmosphere.

Screen colors are authored interpretations. Material photographs show surface character; they are not calibrated color samples.

02 / Play with the composition

How warm is too warm?

Give the brightest orange a smaller role. Pale oak and pumpkin tones let the deeper colors breathe.

Adjust one color and the others rebalance to 100%. The material board changes with your proportions.

White Pumpkin: 28%; Sunflower: 18%; Terracotta Tile: 20%; Jack-o’-Lantern: 12%; Rust Bouclé: 15%; Oxblood Glaze: 7%
