Five-color palettes begin to approach the range needed for editorial and illustrative work - enough steps to build atmosphere, render natural scenes, or create the tonal depth that a complex layout demands. Many of the landscape-derived palettes in this range work from dark anchor through mid-range to pale tone, creating a full scene in five stops. They suit moodboard work, interior direction, publication design, and brand systems complex enough to need more than a primary + secondary + neutral.
