A simple palette inspired by the vintage look and feel of old diners and cars. Some nice pastel tones as well as a few dark ones for balance. Was originally created for a class but I liked it enough to upload it!

A collection of colours used in early print media; sampled from various examples here: http://oa.letterformarchive.org/
The colours mostly rely on a black/red/orange/white scheme, but I brewed up companion cyan-greens which bridge across the blues/yellows.
For best results, use in big, punchy blocks.
