Warmth 55/100

Neutral

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

Softness 84/100

Very high

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

Depth 11/100

Very low

Airy and open — recedes, leaves the composition light.

Very low

Playful and accessible rather than exclusive.

Reproduces faithfully in CMYK — safe for packaging and print.
