Retro palette
Clouded Alley
Five retro stops with room to breathe — #721900 grounds, #a63d22 and #c5593e do the talking, #cc6f58 softens, #eb8b72 lifts. The split-complementary bones keep it coherent across book covers that read at thumbnail size. The darkest and lightest stops clear AA as a text pair.
