China · Ming–Qing (14th–19th c.)
江南园林
Jiāngnán Yuánlín · Jiangnan Garden
Scholar-garden palette of whitewashed walls, black tiles, and lotus-pond greens in Suzhou and Yangzhou.
In Practice
The palette, applied.
Three mock compositions built only from the colors above — a designer’s proof that cultural palettes translate into production surfaces.
Editorial · Poster
Whitewash Wall grounds the field while Lotus Leaf carries the display voice — a pairing built for titling weight.
Product · Packaging
Lotus Leaf takes the front face; Lotus Pink returns as a narrow band — a tested retail hierarchy.
Digital · Interface
Whitewash Wall canvas, Dai Tile Black type, Lotus Leaf call-to-action — WCAG-legible contrast without leaving the palette.
Give your design a meaningful narrative — not just a color, but the reason it belongs.
