Aquamarine holds the warm center of this desert palette with sand and clay beside it, a muted-sage accent and a dark-brown anchor.
Aquamarine is the single accent in this high-contrast editorial system — set on near-white paper against near-black ink, with a warm grey and a desaturated tint of Aquamarine carrying the quiet middle.
