I mix colours until something feels right, then I keep them, sometimes for decades.

Each palette is a set of five swatches that earned their way into a folder and stayed there. Some came from branding work, some from photographs I took in specific light, some from paintings and fabrics I kept thinking about. Tap any row to copy the hex values, or shuffle to pull a fresh set from the archive.
