Using it

Do

  • Use verdigris as the signature and calm action, madder as the one focal action, ochre as a sparing highlight.
  • Keep neutrals pure (#FFF / #16241C ink); zebra and tints stay cool, never cream.
  • Treat each pigment as a solid field; carry semantic meaning with a badge label plus colour.

Avoid

  • Do not blend the pigments into gradient washes.
  • Do not introduce warm cream/beige backgrounds.
  • Do not let any one pigment flood the page; they are accents, not workhorses.
