Creating new colors

In Archipelago, the Key Visual library is constantly updated with new graphics and illustrations that use a vast array of colors. As such is the case, here are a few rules to keep in mind when creating and using new colors:

As much as possible, reflect the true colors of the ingredients when making botanical illustrations and other iterations of the letras y figuras.

New colors outside the specified palette must be muted, earthy and with a sepia tone that’s reminiscent of storybook illustrations and archival prints as seen below in

’s illustrations.
