Retro palette
Chiffon Courtyard
Five retro stops with room to breathe — #7b1c0a grounds, #a64a38 and #c46552 do the talking, #cc7a69 softens, #eb9684 lifts. The complementary bones keep it coherent across book covers that read at thumbnail size. The darkest and lightest stops clear AA as a text pair.
