Film Noir Colour Palette
A contemporary noir palette that pairs near-black structure with weathered neutrals, cool reflected light, and a controlled ember accent. It keeps the drama of classic shadow-led cinema while remaining calm and practical for modern interfaces and editorial layouts.

Usage guidance
Use Inkstone for page backgrounds and large dark surfaces, Soft Ivory for readable body text, and Parchment for primary panels or key content areas. Apply Rain-Slick to secondary surfaces, borders, and supporting information. Reserve Signal Ember for focused calls to action, status highlights, and small points of emphasis, checking contrast whenever text sits on colour.
