Veronia Purple · Sepia

Two dark colours by lamplight, a clouded red and a deep brown, close enough to be mistaken for one another in the shade.

Both lie low in value and hold to a similar, modest strength, so the combination is sombre and close. One leans red and the other toward yellow-brown, and that small turn of hue is all that parts them. Colours kept this dark depend on warmth to stay alive, and the shared warm cast gives them a low, banked glow.
