Typewriter
Open in tool →Ink-black and ribbon-red on manila — the correspondence palette; all the vintage comes from the paper colour.
Sepia Mono
Open in tool →A single warm brown from espresso to oat — the sepia scale as a working palette, not a filter.
Oatmeal
Open in tool →Four warm greys from bark to oat — the neutral palette that photographs well and never argues with a product shot.
