Rose, eau de nil & a softer curve.

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
Soften the geometry.
Let the curve be broad and the metal line fine. Rose and eau de nil soften the geometry; terrazzo supplies small-scale detail so the larger shapes can stay simple.
