Northern Forest
Northern boreal forests have a distinctive color palette different from tropical or temperate green: the blue-green of spruce and fir, the pale silver-white of birch bark, the golden amber of resin and autumn needles, and the cold clear blue of winter sky above the canopy. This palette is quieter and cooler than typical 'forest' palettes.

Palette
Each swatch links back to its individual archive detail page.
Collections should do more than group swatches. Each one should read like a usable design direction with a clear emotional lane and a real application surface.
This detail route is the missing layer between a generic palette gallery and a convincing design reference. It gives the set a specific point of view.
