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.
