The Palette.

Three colors. Life lives in between.

Obsidian

#1e1a17

rgb(30, 26, 23)

The dark surface. Not black. Warmth in the undertone.

Warm Grey

#a89888

rgb(168, 152, 136)

The accent. Reads as tarnished bronze on dark. The signet ring.

Cream

#f4f2ef

rgb(244, 242, 239)

The light. Not white. Off-white with history.

The Story

Life lives in the grey. So does this brand. Obsidian isn’t black. Cream isn’t white. The warm grey between them is the whole color story.

We tried literal Tarnished Gold (#C4A35A) as the accent. It read yellow on dark, too costume-jewelry. The warm grey we settled on reads as tarnished bronze — the signet ring, not the chandelier.
