Warmth 46/100

Neutral

Balanced temperature — flexible, sits between warm and cool schemes.

Softness 93/100

Soft and easy on the eye — gentle backdrops, calm surfaces.

Very low

Airy and open — recedes, leaves the composition light.

Weak as an action color — too pale, too dark or too muted to signal.
