Bauhaus color palettes

Bauhaus palettes are the 1919 workshop: primary red, primary blue, primary yellow, black ink and the drafting paper they were drawn on. They suit design tools, museums, architecture, Swiss-influenced software — structure worn as a badge.

Three primaries plus black is a children's poster until the proportions are adult. Each palette here holds the yellow smallest, the black heaviest, and the paper slightly warm — the three moves that make primaries read as theory.
