03 · Colour and perception

Light wins. Warmth sells.

Light mode out-read dark across every dimension for both younger and older adults, so the brand default is light. Warm neutrals read calm, trust and dependability, and travel across ages. Each concept carries a light palette as the recommended reading default, plus a full dark variety as a dramatic, gallery-like alternative.

Nielsen Norman Group, 2024 · colour-psychology sources in the master document. Light leads the reading experience; the dark variety also serves low-light viewing and low-vision preference.

Limewash and Bronze · recommended
Ash and Linen
Clay and Sage
04 · Competitor and differentiation

The empty quadrant.

Platforms are bespoke-ish but transactional and fee-led; contractors are cheap and unaccountable; local studios are quiet and unproven online. The bespoke-and-trusted corner is open. How we take it:

05 · Content and UX

People scan. Space sells.

~25%
of words on a page get read, in under a minute. Meaning is front-loaded.
NN/g · F-pattern
+20%
comprehension lift from proper white space, which also reads as luxury.
