Color
Palettes, copyable tokens in hex and OKLCH, gradients and semantic roles. The warm dark canvas as a system.
The warm dark canvas
Surfaces before color. A warm bias instead of pure black gives every world an editorial, OLED friendly ground. The base any palette sits on.
Void & Paper
The current pete and Kentainment ground. Three void steps into warm paper.
Warm Charcoal
A warmer alternative ground. Charcoal with a faint warm bias, lifting to stone and sand.
In use across my work
The accent worlds already living in the projects. One focused hue each, shown here as a family so they can be compared at a glance.
Schmidlin Studio · Emerald
Warm jewel emerald. Precise and natural at once.
Kentainment · Gold
The association mark. Gold with a warm ember second.
Astrophotal · Emission
Real emission lines. Hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur as the accent system.
Wisdom Boom · Magenta
A vivid stage palette for the music visualizer.
Sound of Extinction
Blood red as warning, sand as the warm counterweight.
Descienced · Levels
Three switchable level worlds, from playful to scientific.
Beyond, for what comes next
Directions we do not use yet. A reference to draw on for future projects, and a starting point for conversations with clients about where a brand could go. Inspiration, not inventory.
Plum Noir & Jade
Nocturnal and sophisticated. Plum depth with a jade accent for a moody, editorial register.
Biophilic
Colors sampled from moss, bark and stone. Grounded in real ecology, ideal for nature themes.
Persimmon Punch
Muted neutrals with one high energy accent. Energetic without turning to marketing.
Sapphire Night
A cool deep night. Cobalt against ink with an ice highlight.
Copper & Clay
Earthy and tactile. Clay and copper warmed by cream.
Aurora
A cool triad for immersive, multi stop atmospheres and shader backdrops.
Wasabi Voltage
Refined acid chartreuse over a near black warm base. One electric exclamation mark for the brave.
Neon Riviera
A tasteful vaporwave duotone. Hot pink against electric cyan, anchored so it reads luxe, not retro.
Thermal Glow
A thermal imaging gradient as a palette. Incandescent tangerine melting into ultraviolet.
Gradients
Atmosphere over structure. Low key meshes and sweeps that sit behind content without shouting.
Click any value to copy. Hex for now, OKLCH for the perceptual engine to come.
