What it does
Most palettes are picked because the colours look good together. They often end up flat because no colour is pushing in one direction. This prompt starts from one feeling. It describes the subject plainly, then pushes the main colour past real life to carry the feeling. Every colour gets one job, and any colour that fights the feeling is cut with a reason. It ends with a three-second test you can run on a friend. It never claims a palette tested well unless real people saw it.
