Retro palette
Calico Clearing
A quiet five-stop retro arc with a confident middle — #ae0020 carries the weight and #ffb6b1 carries the air, with #de474a, #fe6564 and #ff8581 bridging in analogous formation. Built for book covers that read at thumbnail size. The darkest and lightest stops clear AA for large text.
