Velvet Noir

Velvet Noir. Indulgent.

A hotel room in Paris. Late evening. Pink champagne, candlelight, and the city out the window.

The palette

Eight colors. Eight jobs.

Dark depth lifted by champagne pink. This is Velvet Noir.

Two darks, one bridge, one plum, one pink, one gold, and two neutrals at opposite temperatures: warm linen inside, cool pearl at the window. No two colors do the same job.
