Palette direction
Matcha & Linen is the kind of palette lane that holds up across packaging, wellness landing pages, and editorial UI. The point is not novelty; it is controlled softness with enough structure to still feel product-ready.

Matcha & Linen, calm product surfaces, and what shipped in March
A monthly ColorArchive note covering a calm green editorial direction, the archive's new account layer, and live token exports.
Highlights
Featured palette direction: Matcha & Linen for wellness, artisan packaging, and quiet interfaces.
Account sync is now live with magic link and Google sign-in, plus lightweight order history.
Complete Archive token exports now include Figma-friendly JSON and Style Dictionary formats.
What shipped
This month pushed ColorArchive closer to a real product surface: account sync, protected analytics, route-specific OG assets, and better token export coverage. The site is still static at the front, but the dynamic layer is now cleanly isolated behind the API.
What to open next
If you want the quickest path from browsing to application, start with the Matcha & Linen collection, then compare it against the Complete Archive Token Set if you need broader production coverage.
