Retro palette
Toasted Dock
Five retro stops with room to breathe — #74242c grounds, #9f4f53 and #bd696d do the talking, #c67d7f softens, #e4999a 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.
