A conversation between Rust and Dusty Rose, giving this palette its sense of sophistication.

The five colors

• Rose Water (#EBE0E9): a clean, paper-quiet neutral.
• Ash (#C0AEB9): A luminous, dusty pink — the color of a candy shop window.
• Dusty Rose (#AD899B): A luminous, dusty rose — the color of strawberry cream.
• Rust (#8B2F25): A full-bodied, balanced orange — the color of toasted spice.
• Ink (#1D0E1A): A deep, shadowed, dusty pink — the color of neon signs at night.

Feels like: Sophistication. Tagged scandi, muted, light.
