Colors · his personal brand colors
1: Green (primary)
The primary brand color, from the site homepage. Forest is the dark anchor; verdigris is the lighter shade for tints and accents.
2: Blue (secondary)
All the blues come from Japanese woodblock prints, not a generic web-blue: the Prussian blue (ベロ藍, bero-ai) and indigo (藍, ai) Hokusai used in The Great Wave.
3: Accents
Used sparingly: gold for calls to action, plus two rarer warm accents.
