A low-chroma warm yellow sits between a near-white and a blue-black, so the only real event in the palette is the value jump — the hue barely moves while lightness does all the work. That is why it stays calm at any size and never fights type. Built for the September equinox on the 21st, the one day the year splits light and dark evenly.
