Midcentury palette
Crackling Ridge
Five midcentury stops with room to breathe — #8f0a00 grounds, #c93322 and #e9533f do the talking, #ef705d softens, #ff9886 lifts. The monochromatic bones keep it coherent across book covers that read at thumbnail size. The darkest and lightest stops clear AA as a text pair.
