       so I decided to check my kopi palette, a palette trying to find the platonic ideal palette that seems to underly all coffee related ephemera, against a an image search for “coffee related ephemera” . how do you think i did?

       even modern brands seem to basically stick to the palette, with the exception of swapping the off white/cream color for bleached white or silver. so why though? part of the palette seems to be based on picking colors around the color of coffee grounds, and milky coffee. then you have the red and green of the italian flags, and the weird obsession with 1900-1930s ads and tin printing tech. why navy blue though?  mustard yellow?

       my kopi palette doesn’t have a pure black or pure white. those do show up, but rarely enough for me to think i don’t really need to include them

       i sorta think that blue and these posters really belong in an adjacent “ice cream “ palette with more mint inspired greens and a brighter blue.

       in the coffee alchemy website we see a list of coffee logos that mostly stick to the kopi paletteincluding one for “hairy chest” with a light blue. i suppose … that it is achievable with a half tone of the navy blue.  https://coffeealchemy.com.au/collections/all
