The soft contrast of cream (#E1C6AD) provides a light base, while rust red (#7A4B3A) offers depth and drama that is particularly suitable for emotional or captivating covers.
For more subtle accents, grey-brown (#A29A8D) brings a modern touch to the design without losing its vintage elegance. Pastel yellow (#F2E1C1) acts as a fresh but subtle accent that draws the eye and enlivens the soft tones of the palette. Finally, Warm Grey (#B8A99B) provides a neutral base that balances and harmonises other colours in the palette.
