About this colour palette

From fuchsia purple and raspberry through to blush and dandelion, into pistachio and meadow greens, then finishing with duck egg, cornish blue, denim and parma violet, the colours flow naturally from one to the next.

The result is a rainbow that feels cohesive and calm rather than high-contrast or overpowering.
