A field guide to color

2026-06-17 Updated 2026-06-17

Color isn't decoration — it's grammar. Here's how we name ours.

Ink black — the period at the end.
Ink black — the period at the end.

The working four

  • Ink — structure
  • Navy — depth without drama
  • Olive — the warm neutral
  • Bone — breathing room
Navy.
Navy.
Olive.
Olive.
Bone.
Bone.

If two colors argue, a third is refereeing badly.

Mix by role, not by hue.
